[Meaning a] dancer.
*sa/turos: xoreuth/s.
It is hard to be sure whether this headword is lower- or upper-case. If -- as is more likely -- it is the former, the entry (also in the
Synagoge and
Photius) is simply glossing the term satyr with reference to the 'frolics' (OCD4 s.v.) such a semi-wild creature (
beta 51 etc.) characteristically indulged in. Alternatively Satyros is a homonym, in which case an identification might be made with the comic actor S. of
Marathon, a celebrity of the mid-fourth century BCE mentioned by
Demosthenes,
Aeschines and others (LGPN ii s.v. no.75, and under
omicron 736,
pi 2579,
phi 769).
