This dancing satyr was found in 1830 at a house in Pompeii that dates from the 2nd century B.C.E. and now bears the name “House of Faun.” Fauns (Roman) and satyrs (Greek) were half men, half goat and were companions of Dionysus, the god of wine. Indeed, the satyr pictured here has enjoyed the flow of wine and is happily dancing along. The statue may be a Roman reproduction of an earlier Hellenistic Greek work.
