In another dream, too, Alexander thought he saw a satyr who mocked him at a distance, and eluded his grasp when he tried to catch him, but finally, after much coaxing and chasing, surrendered. The seers, dividing the word ‘satyros’ into two parts, said to him, plausibly enough,
‘Tyre is to be thine.’ And a spring is pointed out, near which Alexander dreamed he saw the satyr.
