**Satyrs**

Satyrs are hybrid beings from Greek mythology, a mixture of men and animals. They were depicted in various ways, the most common being a human torso and the lower body of a ram. With pointed ears and horns on their heads, satyrs are often shown covered in animal skins as their only garment.
