There has been much debate on the Poser List lately about the existence of female satyrs. Those of a more classical bent insist that such a thing is a contradiction in terms; that 'satyrs' embody the purely male fertility principle rampant, as it were (see Satyriasis). Satyrs were thus by definition exclusively male nymphs, female attributes were embodied by nymphs such as naiads and dryads. Even the ancient Greeks wrote that satyrs reproduced by mating with female goats in one generation, then female humans in the next; such offspring were always male satyrs. That's what they wrote, anyhow... Who knows what they were actually keeping from us?
As for me, I've kept my mouth shut during this whole debate - I just smile and pull out this snapshot, taken while I was sitting having a picnic during my last vacation in Greece...
