Silenus

Silenus, a primitive woodland deity of Asia Minor, whom men try to catch when in a drunken sleep, in order to compel him to prophesy and sing. Later representations make him a son of Hermes or of Pan, and the chief of the Sileni or older Satyrs, and the inseparable companion and instructor of Dionysus, with whom he took part in the contest against the Gigantes, slaying Enceladus. He is described as a little pot-bellied old man, bald-headed and snub-nosed, his body very hairy, always drunk and bearing a skin of wine, and usually propped up by the other satyrs or astride of an ass, since his own legs could not be trusted.
