Editing Satyr (section)

==Terminology==
The etymology of the term ''satyr'' ({{langx|grc|σάτυρος|sátyros}}) is unclear, and several different etymologies have been proposed for it,{{sfn|Room|1983|page=271}} including a possible [[Pre-Greek]] origin.<ref>[[Robert S. P. Beekes|R. S. P. Beekes]], ''Etymological Dictionary of Greek'', Brill, 2009, pp. 1311–12).</ref> Some scholars have linked the second part of name to the root of the Greek word {{langx|grc|θηρίον|thēríon|label=none}}, meaning 'wild animal'.{{sfn|Room|1983|page=271}} This proposal may be supported by the fact that at one point [[Euripides]] refers to satyrs as {{transliteration|grc|theres}}.{{sfn|Room|1983|page=271}} Another proposed etymology derives the name from an ancient [[Peloponnese|Peloponnesian]] word meaning 'the full ones', alluding to their permanent state of sexual arousal.{{sfn|Room|1983|page=271}} [[Eric Partridge]] suggested that the name may be related to the root {{transliteration|grc|sat-}}, meaning 'to sow', which has also been proposed as the root of the name of the Roman god [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]].{{sfn|Room|1983|page=271}} Satyrs are usually indistinguishable from {{transliteration|grc|[[Silenus|sileni]]}}, whose iconography is virtually identical.{{sfn|West|2007|page=293}}{{sfn|Hansen|2004|page=279}}{{sfn|Henrichs|1987|pages=99–100}} According to ''[[Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable]]'', the name 'satyr' is sometimes derogatorily applied to a "brutish or lustful man".{{sfn|Brewer|Evans|1989|page=983}} The term [[satyriasis]] refers to a medical condition in males characterized by excessive sexual desire.{{sfn|Brewer|Evans|1989|page=983}}{{sfn|Luta|2017|page=38}} It is the male equivalent of [[nymphomania]].{{sfn|Luta|2017|page=38}}
