In the Greek mythology semi-animal woodland deities who roamed the hills generally in the train of Dionysus (q. v .), dancing to rustic music; represented with long pointed ears, flat noses, short horns, and a hair-clad man's body, with the legs and hoofs of a goat; they are of lustful nature, and fond of sensual pleasure generally.
