Silenus is a rustic god of the forest, drunkenness and wine-making in Greek mythology. He is best known as the companion and foster father of the god Dionysos. Silenus is closely associated with the satyrs, sometimes listed as the oldest and the wisest satyr.
Silenus is represented as a contradictory figure in ancient sources. On the one hand, he is generally depicted in Greek art as being drunk and enjoying a debauchery lifestyle, but on the other hand, he is also considered to be extremely wise and can tell the future and past of anyone he comes across. Despite his drunken nature and appearance, he was generally a well-loved figure in the ancient world.
