something and the one on the left is seen holding a sack, and the third person is on the
ground in a position. Markings which can be Greek language is written across the object,

Discuss the function of the object In relation to today's Society

The reveling Satyrs is now presently being displayed at The British Musuem in London .
The object dates back to the Greek periods where there were to believed in Greek
mythology about Satyrs..Creatures that were part man , part beast . Satyrs and Sileni were
at first represented as uncouth men, each with a horse’s tail and ears and an erect phallus.
In the Hellenistic age they were represented as men having a goat’s legs and tail. The
occurrence of two different names for the creatures has been explained by two rival
theories: that Silenus was the Asian Greek and Satyr the mainland name for the same
mythical being; or that the Sileni were part horse and the Satyrs part goat.
