In Greek mythology, a satyr is a nature spirit that is often characterized by its human-like form, but with elements like animal features such as goat legs and horns. Satyrs are associated with Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry, embodying the principles of fertility, music, and ecstasy. They are known for their carefree, playful behavior and are often depicted as companions of Bacchus, engaging in festivities that celebrate nature and the joys of life, representing the untamed spirit of the wild.
