Dancing Faun

The Dancing Faun is now clearly identified as a satyr, a cunning figure from ancient mythology and literature renowned for their passion for wine, music, and pranks. This satyr holds metal cymbals in his hands and wears a 'kroupezion' attached to his sandal, similar to modern day tap shoes. His faun-like features are visible in the tiny horns above his forehead, and the small goat's tail at his rear. His head is bent over, completely absorbed in the music, and every muscle of his athletic body, from his deltoid muscles to his abdomen and calves, appears tense as he plays. This work is a Roman copy of a lost group dating from the 2nd Century BC, probably made of bronze, known to us both from coins from the 2nd Century AD from Cyzicus and from many other copies (see bust Ma528 at The Louvre). The dancing satyr was apparently inviting a nymph seated opposite him to join him in dancing. The best preserved copies allow us to reconstruct the positions of the arms, which have been restored.
