Whats the difference between a faun and a satyr?
They differ in a few ways, much as the Roman gods can differ from the Greek gods. Fauns appear to be the Roman equivalent of the Greek satyr. However, while both have a human torso, horns, and the body of a goat, the satyrs originally had goat-like hooves while the fauns had human feet. The Romans had gods that had faun bodies called Faunus and Bona Dea. Also, while fauns are typically the inhabitants of the forest and other locations, the satyrs are portrayed as the followers of Bacchus, God of wine (sort of the stereotypical frat boy of his time) and by their insatiable sex drive.
