"Satyrs were male creatures who inhabited woodlands and forests in Greek mythology. They often accompanied Dionysos, and were frequently depicted in art and myth as members of the god’s ecstatic entourage (an entourage, by the way, which included not only satyrs but the wild women known as Maenads or Bacchantes).

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche ‘The Birth of Tragedy, XVI, 1872
“We believe in eternal life,” exclaims tragedy, while music is the immediate idea of this life. Plastic art has an altogether different aim: her Apollo overcomes the suffering of the individual by the radiant glorification of the eternity of the phenomenon: here beauty triumphs over the suffering inherent in life; pain is obliterated by lies from the features of nature. In Dionysiam art and its tragic symbolism the same nature cries to us with its true, undissembled voice: “Be as I am! Amid the ceaseless flux of phenomena I am the eternally creative primordial mother, eternally impelling to existence, eternally finding satisfaction in this change of phenomenal” page 58
