Silenus

Σειληνός

The tutor of Dionysus — forever drunk, yet speaking the truth.

He is the old spirit who leads the satyrs and raised Dionysus.

Drunk and lost, he was lavishly entertained by Midas — and in return, Midas was granted a wish.

It was believed that if you caught him, he would yield wisdom. His most famous answer: "Best of all is never to be born."
