What was the relation between Satyrs and Nymphos in Greek Mythology? From what I read, the appearance of a Satyr is supposed to represent half man and half beast, or a symbol of being subjected to a beastly lifestyle as a man. Satyrs were poets that mainly roamed in the woods and mountains. They are also often depicted with an erect penis which could mean that the man is a slave to his bestial, sexual desires. Nymphos are the same, but yet from what I read it seems that nymphos never actually engaged in sexual activities with the Satyr, but only to tease him and mess with his head.
Is Satyr a symbol of the beta man?

They're both magical beings but beyond that they have no clear relationship. The Satyrs are mostly associated with the god Pan while nymphs are a very broad class of being that includes minor deities (like Calypso) and simple nature spirits (like the Dryads), although iirc both Satyrs and a class of nymphs called Maenads where found among the followers of the god Dionysos, where they both represent the animalistic nature of drunkeness.
