satyrs

Mythical forest revelers

Satyrs are creatures from Greek mythology—half-man, half-goat beings with pointed ears, horse tails, and perpetual erections.

They inhabited wild places, chasing nymphs and indulging in wine.

The word extends to any man of excessive sexual appetite: He had a reputation as a satyr.

In entomology, satyrs are a family of brown butterflies.
