Fauns
Spirits of agricultural fertility, these are sometimes confused with
Satyrs, but have the legs, tails and ears of deer rather than goats
and have the bodies and faces of handsome youths, their skin and fur
both being smooth. They are gentle and harmless, and Nymphs enjoy
their company, and they may be seen dancing gracefully together as
the faun plays his shawn, a kind of flute their founding deity
Faunus invented.
