If you mean real-real, then its doubtful. If you mean mythologically-real, then of course.There are generally two competing theories about the differences between satyrs and fauns: 1) The faun has goats feet whilst a satyr has human feet. 2) (The one I'd back) The faun is a human/deer, the satyr is a human/goat. 7 out of 16 found this valuable.

I liked the faun in Pan's Labyrinth. So different to the usual portrayal.

Answer 1. gives the basics. Satyrs were from Greek . Some pottery depicts them with human feet. There are references to the deer legs. Fauns are the Roman version and I belief were always described with the lower body of a goat.

What are you all talkin about!?! NO! The Satyrs and goat man are the same exact thing, but they have different names. The greeks believed in them first, then the Romans started using the Greek Gods and myths. They look like how this described them. Top half was man, bottom was goat. And I'm pretty sure they had the horns. The Satyrs use to steal woman, loved drinking, and were evil. That's not how I like to imagin them though. =^_^=

I've only heard the term 'Goatman' used in cryptozoology for the Maryland Goatman - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatman_(Maryland)Satyrs are usually referred to as just satyrs. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Satyrs are the Greek varient, and Fauns are the Roman varient, In the Greek varient, they are supposed to be kind, generous and intelligent In the Roman varient, they are mischeivious, two-faced and greedy Hope this helps :-) 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

You've got that a little backward, I think. The Greek conception of satyrs was that they were skirt-chasers and weren't really good for anything but comic relief (a whole genre of play called "satyr plays" revolved around them and their antics, although unfortunately none of these plays have survived). In Rome, fauns were sometimes a source of fear but also sometimes helped travelers. They also weren't generally as lecherous as satyrs.

How would one keep a satyr/faun away? What are their weaknesses?

Fauns and Satyrs are exactly the same (upper body of a human, lower body of a goat). Faun is the Roman name for this creature whilst Satyr is the Greek

Satyrs are goatmen with human feet. Fauns are goatmen with hooves. Take this from a Latin major. Satyriasis is the male equivalent to the female nymphomania. So a woman might be thought of as a nymph but the guy is considered a satyr if you guys are always horny. Got it?

Satyrs prefer classical rock whilst fauns prefer dubstep, also satyrs do NOT like crunchy peanut butter, take my word for it.

So fauns are nice and helpful and satyrs are not? In Narnia, C.S. Lewis writes about fauns/fawns and satyrs. I didnt know what a satyr was until one of my students was reading Percy Jackson and she described the satyr just like a faun. In Percy Jackson, you have Grover, the helpful satyr.
