His Temple of Athena at Priene (334 bc ) is one of the finest Ionic temples and therefore he is credited with bringing the Ionic Order to canonical perfection. His writings have not survived, but the references to him by Vitruvius suggest he was an important Greek architectural theorist. D ( 1950 ) ; Fyfe ( 1936 ) ; La ( 1983 ) ; ...

Various entries of the Souda mention satyrs. A rare etymology is found in Malalas (Malal. 49.16–17), where satyros in Boeotian dialect stands for metempsychosis to a lower corporeal form.

Three two-legged males with flowing tails and horse's legs, hooves, and ears follow the mule. These three are identified on the vase as sileni, but the term “satyr” ( satyros ) is actually the term generally used to describe such creatures.

Preface 12–13) as one of the two architects of the Mausoleum, the other being Satyros. Vitruvius’ short account, written c. 30–25 bc , includes the name of Praxiteles among the four sculptors, relegating Timotheos to a possible alternative. This is usually supposed to be an error.
