The Statue of the Arriving Satyr King
The Statue of the Arriving Satyr King is a colossal statue of Silenus, the king of the satyrs, who serves as the protector and mentor of Dionysus. The statue, which stands at around 100 ft high, and which is distinguished by a large erect phallus which emits a tremendous waterfall, stands atop a small ziggurat-type foundation that is itself constructed atop the ceiling of the Congregation Garden, the main hall of the subterranean Temple of the Arriving Satyr King. The eyes of the statue are illuminated by two, constantly burning torches, as are the upward facing palms of the statue which extend outwards along side the statue's erect phallus, and the corners of the ziggurat upon which the statue is built. Vines grow from the statue's chin, as well as from its genitals, creating the impression of a great bear, and pubic hair. Between the statue's legs are several steps upon which are featured potted poppy flowers. Around the base of the statue is a small seating area fashioned as a type of amphitheater, where Bassarid religious practitioners gather to pay homage to Silenus and Dionysus. Offerings to the god and his mentor may be placed on the various levels of statue's base. Owing to its scale and religious significance, the statue of the Arriving Satyr King is regarded as one of the modern wonders of the eastern world.
