According to an inscription on a statue base artist found in Delphi Satyrus was the son of Isotimos from Paros and creator of the bronze statues of the Carian satrap Idrieus and his sister wife Ada. The emergence period of this art is dated to about 345 BC. Satyrus was earlier in the service of the ruling family of Hekatomniden because it the second architect of the calculated to the Seven Wonders of the World Mausoleum of Halicarnassus is detectable in addition Pytheos. This described in Bodrum located in modern day Turkey tomb Satyrus and Pytheos also in a separate book. The building had been begun during the reign of mouse solos and continued under his wife 's sister Artemisia, who followed her siblings Idrieus and Ada.

The efforts, Satyrus attributable other art works - such as that he had helped to shape the sculptural decoration of the mausoleum - remain very uncertain.
