Satyr Of The Woods Playing The Aulos

A Satyr is a mythological creature from ancient Greek folklore, typically depicted as a half-human, half-goat figure known for their rowdy behavior, love for wine, music, and physical pleasure. These creatures were known as companions of Pan, the god of the wild, shepherds, and flocks in Greek mythology.

The Aulos Flute, often played by a Satyr in Greek mythology, is a wind instrument that dates back to ancient times. It is usually made from a single or double-pipe reed with finger holes. The sound of an aulos is rather distinctive, often associated with ceremonies or rituals, and was considered to produce a more energetic and passionate sound compared to other instruments like the lyre.
