The Satyr And The Goat[1] is a sculpture of Pan copulating with a goat from the Herculaneum, carved from Greek marble in the 1st century B.C. It was one of the first objects excavated when the Herculaneum was discovered in the long peristyle of the Villa of the Papyrus.

It was unearthed at Herculaneum in 1752. Not even the esteemed German archaeologist of the time, Johann Winckelmann, was allowed to see it. Judith Harris in Pompeii Awakened: A Story of Rediscovery mentions that Dominique Vivant got the opportunity to see it and depicted it in the Priapées et sujets divers.

It was considered so offensive that it was not on public display until the year 2000 and remains in the Secret Museum, Naples. It is described in César Famin's The Royal Museum at Naples, Being Some Account of The Erotic Paintings, Bronzes, and Statues Contained in that Famous "Cabinet Secret.
