Un consommateur notoire de vin, dans la mythologie grecque, il était souvent ivre et a dû être soutenu par des satyres ou porté par un âne. Silène a été décrit comme le plus ancien, en état d'ivresse la plus sage et la plupart des disciples de Dionysos, et a été déclaré dans les hymnes orphiques d'être le tuteur du jeune dieu. Cela le met dans une entreprise de tuteurs phallique ou mi-animaux des dieux, un groupe qui comprend Priape, Hermaphrodite, Cedalion et Chiron, mais comprend également Pallas, le tuteur d'Athéna.

Jule Dalou's 1885 Le Triomphe de Silène (The Procession of Silenus) is a pyramidal tangle of human forms. The sculpture represents Silène stripped, drunk and staggering.

A notorious consumer of wine, in Greek mythology, he was usually drunk and had to be supported by satyrs or carried by a donkey. Silenus was described as the oldest, wisest and most drunken of the followers of Dionysus, and was said in Orphic hymns to be the young god's tutor. This puts him in a company of phallic or half-animal tutors of the gods, a group that includes Priapus, Hermaphroditus, Cedalion and Chiron, but also includes Pallas, the tutor of Athena.
