Satyr play is a form of ancient Greek drama that served as a comic relief to the more serious themes of tragedy. Typically performed at the end of a trilogy of tragedies, it featured a chorus of satyrs—mythical creatures that were half-man and half-goat—who engaged in humorous, often lewd antics. The plays combined elements of satire and farce, addressing both mythological subjects and contemporary social issues, thereby providing a lighthearted contrast to the weighty themes of the preceding tragedies.
