This dancing Satyr—half goat, half man, all prankster—is on the move, sealing important documents that travel across Etruria, a pre-Roman civilization. With his good-luck scarab on his back, he travels to help a birthday girl’s wish come true and only gets them into a little bit of trouble playing “hide the sheep.”This podcast uses episode-specific artwork. If you don’t see an image of the satyr scarab gem with this episode, you may have to turn on this setting in your podcast app.For a listening guide, a coloring sheet, images, and more, visit getty.edu/podcasts/if-objects-could-talk/ (https://www.getty.edu/podcasts/if-objects-could-talk/).
