Editing Satyr (section)

=== List of Satyrs <!-- this part of the article doesn't seem to be well-suited to even be present here, considering nearly all of the names listed are from a single post-classical text, which is known for having inaccuracies to its own source material and characters that seem to be fabricated for purely narrative purposes. This could be replaced by a section specifically on the satyrs of the Dionysiaca, and moved much lower on the page. It would be far less out-of-place and misleading. -->===

Many names of the satyrs that appear in Nonnos' Dionysiaca are heavily assumed to have been coined by the author, and are nothing more than plot devices with no mythological significance. Four names listed in the epic, when translated, are merely adjectives associated to the character <ref>''Dionysiaca (1940 translation), '''footnote on page 480'''''Nonnos, of Panopolis; Frye, Northrop. Marginalia; Rouse, W. H. D. (William Henry Denham), 1863–1950; Rose, H. J. (Herbert Jennings), 1883–1961; Lind, L. R. (Levi Robert), 1906-</ref>("Pastoral", "Cult-association", "Tall-horn", and "Mountain-dweller").

The names of the satyrs according to various vase paintings were: [[Babacchos]], [[Briacchos]], [[Dithyrambos (mythology)|Dithyrambos]], [[Demon (Greek myth)|Demon]], [[Dromis]], [[Echon]], [[Hedyoinos]] ("Sweet Wine"), [[Hybris (Greek myth)|Hybris]] ("Insolence"), [[Hedymeles]], ("Sweet Song"), [[Comus|Komos]] ("Revelry"), [[Cissus (mythology)|Kissos]] ("Ivy"), [[Molkos]], [[Oinos (mythology)|Oinos]], [[Oreimachos]], [[Simos]] ("Snub-nose"), [[Terpon]] and [[Tyrbas]] ("Rout").<ref>{{Cite book|last=Walters|first=Henry Beauchamp|url=|title=History of Ancient Pottery: Greek, Etruscan, and Roman: Based on the Work of Samuel Birch|year=1905|volume=2|pages=[https://archive.org/details/historyofancient02walt/page/65/mode/2up/ 65], [https://archive.org/details/historyofancient02walt/page/66/mode/2up/ 66]}}</ref>
