Fauns and Satyrs in Second Life
View allAll Photos Tagged satyr's
This loving couple granted me a photo op on the trail at Weeks Bay yesterday! Spring flings are in the air!
Slightly cropped grayscale version of the image (see before). I am interested in this Renaissance rendition of a Satyr (or Pan or Faunus). The Renaissance brought a new self-confidence of the individual or even the autonomy of the self. But here we have what is lurking underneath: uncontrollable drives and desires. You may detect the horns growing out of the Satyr's forehead. In Christian iconography, this visual representation became the template (together with the cloven hoof) after which the image of the Devil was modelled.
Carolina Satyr (Hermeuptychia sosybius)
Congaree National Park, South Carolina, U.S.A.
This species thrives in shaded woodlands and grassy swamps, where its larvae feed exclusively on native grasses like St. Augustine and centipede grass. Adults rarely visit flowers, preferring sap, rotting fruit, and moisture from damp soil—making them one of the few butterflies frequently seen fluttering low in quiet forest light rather than flying through open fields.
This species does not currently have an official IUCN Red List assessment. However, according to NatureServe, it is considered “Secure” in its range across the southeastern United States.

An import from NATO, this custom version of an older Satyr Export model adds a few modernizing features such as Hornet Micro-Missile pods. Upgraded and maintained by the United Arab Kingdom guardsmen, these Satyr's mainly see use around various royal palaces and mansions of important UAK figureheads.
Credit to Carter for the original Satyr (Export) design, like many a WiD builder before me I was very interested to build this legendary little 4 wheeler. I tweaked the sturdiness a bit and slightly altered the exterior but wanted to keep the core design philosophy of Carter's original Satyr Export model intact as it's pretty much my favorite overall lego 4 wheeler to date.

A seperate close-up shot of the Satyr without the diorama.
Broke out of my sharp-shell for a second to try and match East's simple-but-ill-funky sketch. I feel like I took it a bit too technical, but the fact that Satyr's technicallity fell between mine and East's worked it out.
The flying monkey thought Satyr's piece was a bit tastier than mine

The Dancing Satyr is an extraordinary work of art.
It's presence in the city of Mazara, after the restoration works, has enriched the Sicilian cultural heritage. The bronze statue is dated back to the IV century B.C., the Hellenistic period. It represents a dancing Satyr, a mythological figure.
The dynamism of his Dionysian dance characterizes the work. It’s been a typical feature of the Greek sculptures since the IV century. However, the main characteristic of this masterpiece is its magnificent head with flying hair. It’s unnaturally arched by the whirling dance that also upsets the most elementary natural rules. So, it was certainly carved by a master.
The Satyr was recovered on March 1998 by the fishing-boat Capitan Ciccio, belonging to the ship owners Asaro and Scilla and commanded by the captain Francesco Adragna. It was found at a depth of 500 m (1600 ft.) under the level of the sea, between Pantelleria and the African coast.
Though still missing both arms and his right leg, the statue is an incredible find. It's head and torso are in amazingly good condition,despite millennia spent at the bottom of the sea. Now, the Satyr has been restored, but the Central Institute of Art Restoration, in Rome, made use of several specialists’ help to clean the sculpture and fit it with a steel armature to strengthen it.
The statue most probably belonged to a collection of sculptures, Satyrs and Bacchantes. Whirling and orgiastic dances kept them occupied. On July 2003 the Satyr returned to Mazara del Vallo, where it is on permanent display in the Satyr's Museum in the complex of Sant'Egidio. The bronze isn’t only the attestation of the importance of the Mediterranean area during the centuries, but also it helps us live the history of the Sicilian Canal and the relations between Sicilia and North Africa over again. This is possible thanks to a selection of archeological objects recovered in the same sea. The Satyr's Museum houses them. For example, a bronze fragment of elephant’s leg belonging to the Punic-Hellenistic age, a mediaeval bronze cauldron, a selection of freight amphora belonging to archaic, classical, Hellenistic, Punic and mediaeval period are some of the finds situated in the museum.
However, the discovery of the dancing sculpture has been of primary importance in the archeological research progress.

Greek bronze helmet of Attic type, ornamented with a silver satyr's head appliqué on the crest. The cheek-pieces may not belong to the helmet, but they are ancient and of the appropriate type.
The detail on the silver appliqué is very finely done, and the satyr appears fierce, scowling.
Greek, 5th century BCE, possibly found in Athens. Bronze and silver.
Height: 22.86 centimetres

Crouching satyr holding a skyphos. The satyr's face is rendered in archaizing style with eyebrows, eyes, mustache and goatee painted in black; the hair locks hanging on the shoulders; the beard on the cheeks, the paws rendered in red. A nebride, goatskin worn by Dionysos' followers, covers his back. The animal's knotted legs are visible on the satyr chest.
On the skyphos shoulder superimposed garlands and spirals. The vase main body decoration shows two facing groups of riders leading horses.
This vessel is equipped with three openings that allow to drink the wine poured into it. They are placed at the satyr's head, at his back, and the last, communicating with the hollow interior of the annular base, at the bottom of the skyphos. This arrangement allowed to preserve the poured wine up to the rim of the vase or to drink it at will.
An inscription quite deeply incised on his right arm reads: ΡΟΙΟΔΟΝΟΣΕΙΜΙ (Ρολόδονός εἰμι). It reports the name of the vase owner who, according to the used characters, was a Boeotian.

Brunnenburbel - Fountain Boy
Scultura di un ragazzo nudo che sta lottando con un satiro, nell’atto di stringerli il pene con la mano..
Posizionata in Neahuser Strasse, nel centro di Monaco, nelle immediate vicinanze della Karlstore, l’antica porta di accesso alla città
Questo giovane ragazzo nudo fu, inizialmente, nel 1985, accolto dal pubblico in maniera scandalosa. Ciò nonostante il locale scultore Matthias Gasteiger, ignorando la richiesta personale del Principe Reggente Leopoldo, si rifiutò di coprire la parti nude con una foglia di fico. L’artista era considerato, a Monaco, alla stregua di un re. L’opera fu premiata con una medaglia d’oro in occasione di una prestigiosa competizione internazionale di scultura a Parigi.
Oggi l’opera è considerata come la più bella ed amata scultura di Monaco.

Sculpture of a nude boy who is spat by a satyr, when he shuts with his hand the satyr's penis.
It is placed in Neauhuser Strass in the center of the city near the Karlstore, the old gate to entry in the city
This naked young boy was initially greeted by public outcry in 1895, when local sculptor Matthias Gasteiger refused to supply him with a fig leaf, even when Prince Regent Luitpold personally asked for it - the artist was king in München! nevertheless, he went on to win the gold medal at a prestigious international sculpture competition in Paris and is today Munich's best-loved fountain
LE SATYRE ET LE PASSANT
Au fond d'un antre sauvage
Un Satyre et ses enfants
Allaient manger leur potage,
Et prendre l'écuelle aux dents (1).
On les eût vus (2) sur la mousse,
Lui, sa Femme, et maint Petit ;
Ils n'avaient tapis ni housse,
Mais tous fort bon appétit .
Pour se sauver de la pluie,
Entre un Passant morfondu.
Au brouet on le convie.
Il n'était pas attendu.
Son Hôte n'eut pas la peine
De le semondre (3) deux fois.
D'abord avec son haleine
Il se réchauffe les doigts .
Puis sur le mets qu'on lui donne,
Délicat, il souffle aussi.
Le Satyre s'en étonne :
Notre hôte, à quoi bon ceci ?
L'un refroidit mon potage;
L'autre réchauffe ma main.
Vous pouvez, dit le Sauvage,
Reprendre votre chemin .
Ne plaise aux Dieux que je couche
Avec vous sous même toit !
Arrière ceux dont la bouche
Souffle le chaud et le froid (4)!"

The plastic vase shaped like a satyr's head is a production attested in Athens during the 5th century BC. The vase, although traditionally defined as a single handle kantharos, cannot perform the ttypical function of this kind of vases used for the ritual consumption of the wine in honor of the god Dionysus: the shape of the mouth associated with a single handle doesn't prove suitable neither for drinking nor for pouring, depriving this vase of any practical application. Unlike the rhyton, the foot makes it stand-alone, allowing a frontal vision (satyr mask and figurative scene with satyr and maenad) which determines an evocative presence of the Dionysian ritual in an ideal symposium of the deceased.

The heads of a bearded satyr and a woman, back to back, finely modeled, support the two-handled cup, on which the design is painted. On this side the Satyr's representation: around his forehead is a row of curls, prominently modeled in spiral form, and left red. The flesh of the bearded satyr is vermilion; his lips, which are parted, purple, the teeth white, separated by brown lines; his beard is in black glaze, scored with nine wavy lines in the soft clay. His moustache, long and flowing, is modeled, and has been colored brown.
The images painted on the cup surface, probably, represent a satyric scene is. Within a cave, indicated by an irregularly-shaped mass of overhanging rock on right, Dionysos (?), bearded, with long hair and mantle, reclines to left against two striped cushions, holding in his left against his breast a cotyle. He extends his right to push away a bearded satyr in the background, who dances towards him, bending over him with both arms raised in a grotesque attitude, as if he were trying to obtain the cotyle. On the left, a second satyr is seated on a square base looking on, and resting his left on a thyrsos, from the head of which two ivy-branches sprout; he extends his right towards the group with a gesture of command. All three figures wear fillets. In the field, KAΛΟΣ, καλός.

Mask of beardless satyr. Architectural decoration from the Academia Theater at Villa Adriana in Tivoli . Theatre masks in marble were common ornaments in classical antiquity. Sometimes as here, they were made as separate objects for suspension (oscilla). These masks were suspended from trees, whence comes "oscillation."

Side (b)
Dionysiac group:
In the centre is a couch covered with a panther's skin, on which recline the youthful *Dionysos* and *Pluto*, each resting left arm on an embroidered pillow. Dionysos has long curls, fillet with cross-band round the back of the head, ivy-wreath, drapery over lower limbs, and thyrsos in right hand; he turns to look at Pluto, who looks back at him; he has short curly hair with laurel-wreath, drapery over lower limbs, and in both hands a large rhyton, painted white, with egg-moulding round the top and a row of fruits above.
On the left stands a Maenad to right, above the ground-level, with flesh painted white, hair drawn back and tied round with a string, ivy-wreath, radiated ampyx, earrings, necklace, bracelets, long chiton and bordered himation falling in pteryges, hands extended, in left a dish of fruit.
On a lower level is a Satyr to right with ivy-wreath and fawn-skin over left arm, carrying a dish of fruit from which hang white strings, and behind him above is a female figure seated to left, looking round to right, with radiated ampyx, hair tied in a knot behind, bracelets, and long girt chiton drawn forward in left hand, in right a dish of fruit.
On the right a Satyr with ivy-wreath, and torch in right hand, leads up *Hephaestos* in a drunken condition; he is bearded, with fillet, ivy-wreath, chlamys over arms, axe in left hand, right arm resting on the Satyr's shoulder. Below the couch is *Eros* to right, nude, with beaded fillet and flesh painted white, holding a spring, the end of which is held in the beak of a swan with which he is playing; behind him is an ivy-branch; in the field, flowers, and above the scene, a vine with grapes.
