Etymology of Satyrium:
Referring to the two-horned satyr, a demigod in Greek mythology, half man, half goat; possibly from satyrion, a name used by Dioscorides and Pliny the Elder for an orchid, Aceras anthropophorum, from the presumed aphrodisiacal properties possessed by the plant. The satyrs were closely associated with Dionysius. The allusion is to the two-spurred lip.
