Satyr

 * ... that satyrs are male nature spirits in Greek mythology known for their mischievous and bawdy behavior? Source: "Satyrs were widely seen as mischief-makers who routinely played tricks on people and interfered with their personal property.[7] They had insatiable sexual appetites and often sought to seduce or ravish both nymphs and mortal women alike,[25][37][38][39] though these attempts were not always successful.[25]
 * ALT1:... that satyrs in Greek mythology were originally thought to have the ears and tails of horses, but later became seen as having the legs and horns of goats? Source: "In Greek mythology, a satyr (Greek: σάτυρος satyros, pronounced [sátyros])[a] also known as a silenos (Greek: σειληνός seilēnos),[b] is a male nature spirit with ears and a tail resembling those of a horse, as well as a permanent, exaggerated erection... Over the course of Greek history, satyrs gradually became portrayed as more human and less bestial. They also began to acquire goat-like characteristics in some depictions as a result of conflation with the Pans, plural forms of the god Pan with the legs and horns of goats. The Romans identified satyrs with their native nature spirits fauns. Eventually the distinction between the two was lost entirely. Since the Renaissance, satyrs have been most often represented with the legs and horns of goats."

 * I just reviewed the nomination for Template:Did you know nominations/Constantin Cantacuzino (died 1877). That fulfills QPQ, I believe, so I believe all problems with this nomination have now been resolved. --Katolophyromai (talk) 05:32, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
