| 22 Feb 1999 | Anon. | Loading... I like the idea, but the reed pipes are not played in that position. They are held almost perpendicular to the way you have them, and the satyr would be blowing across the tops of the openings, not directly into them. | |
| 21 May 1999 | John Teall | Loading... unless ofcourse the "reed pipes" on his world are made more like notched whistles instead of the like the "pan-pipes" on ours. i'd almost bet someone somewhere made pipes like that that were playd that way - just not in the mediteranian region or western europe. | |

The Unidentified One does hava a point (but so does John, of course), but other than that, this drawing is amazingly beautiful...the atmosphere, the freedom, the joy and sorrow.... It's gorgeous...truly lovely...it could seriously induce tears when I'm in this mood (no, I'm not feeling really loopy anmore.)...she's simple, yet perfect. | |
| 6 Oct 1999 | Zuckermaus | Loading... She is so amazingly graceful, and has such and untamed quality of beauty to her. For some reason, this reminds me of the last segment of Fantasia, with Chernabog (the big evil guy on top of the mountain), and all the ghost-like creatures. Yes, this has the same haunting, eerie feeling as the ghost creatures . . . | |
| 17 Jan 2000 |  Christine Unteregger | Loading... How about introducing her to my female satyr (with goat's legs)? I think they would like each other. | |
| 3 May 2002 | WolfSong | Loading... I like it its very interesting | |
| 3 Sep 2002 | Leiko Spade | Loading... Sorry to interupt your ingnorance, but your "satyr" with horse tail and hooves is actually just a mis-named silini; which is a creature of greek myth overlooked by average person. I still like the drawing, even though it's a silini, not a satyr.  Alon Rand replies: "From what I know of Greek myth, satyr was a bit of a fuzzy term (no pun intended) "In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast" While they were often identified as half-human and half-goat, that was not always the case. "[Sileni were] Greek woodland gods or spirits, closely connected to the satyrs. They were occasionally referred to as being half-man half-horse, instead of half-man half-goat." I have frequently seen what you are calling satyrs referred to as pans, after the minor god Pan, while satyrs were the half-horse variety. Besides, sileni was a term that later vanished when the character of Silenus appeared (part of the myth of Midas' golden touch), who was a type of satyr.So excuse me for my "ignorance," but you aren't as all-knowing as you seem to think. There's really no need to be rude about it. I actually know a good deal about mythology in general, and Greek myth in particular. I, at least, know enough about it to know that there are few things that can be absolutely said about it. It spans a period of many, many years, and it is possible to find a contradictory answer to almost any question about it from one period or another.Besides, you misspelled "sileni," if you want to nitpick. (all quotes taken from the Encyclopedia Mythica page )" | |
| 17 Mar 2003 | Leiko | Loading... Forgot about seeing this....I still love the image itself.
First, that Encyclopedia is a bit disapointing...doesn't mention as much on the sileni as i would have thought it would. Second, the sileni and the satyr are two seperate creatures, even if they do share some characteristics. And Silenus was a sileni...not a satyr as quite a few sources will say. He was the leader of the sileni race.
I, too, know a bit about mythology...a lot of interpretation is involved when we look back, but a sileni is a sileni and a satyr is a satyr.
Didn't mean to sound so rude before...I look back on my previous comment and cringe. | |
