Bacchae
Wild woodland companions of Dionysus who join in the biennial festival rites of the mother goddess.
nearby, raving Satyrs were fulfilling the rites of the mother goddess, and they joined it to the dances of the biennial festivals, in which Dionysus rejoices.
Cyclops
The chorus of the satyr play, sons of Silenus and devotees of Dionysus, enslaved by Polyphemus and seeking return to their divine master
here by the caves I see a group of Satyrs.
As for us, henceforth will we be the servants of Bacchus, sharing the voyage of this hero Odysseus.
Up now, children of Dionysus, sons of a noble sire, soon will yon creature in the cave, relaxed in slumber as ye see him, spew from his shameless maw the meat.
Ichneutae
The satyr chorus is a noisy, comic tracking band that searches for Apollo's cattle, fears the lyre, questions Cyllene, and accuses Hermes.
