Your Field Guide to Spotting Satyrs

Your Field Guide to Spotting Satyrs

Back in the day, everybody said that satyrs had horse ears, tails, and legs. But now, folks say the little hairy dudes have pointy beards with goat horns and legs. Either way, everyone agrees that they usually have a wineskin in one hand and a set of panpipes in the other. Satyrs can definitely be fun to hang out with—they're always up for a party—but a few barrels of wine into the evening, things get out of control. If you happen to be a nymph or a young nubile maiden, it might be better if you turn the other way when you hear the panpipes a-playin'.
