This leading characteristic of Silvanus is shown clearly in Roman literature: Horace writes of the "horridi dumeta Silvani" (Odes, iii.
the Mars Silvanus of Cato, De re rustica, r41; see Mars), he never made his way into the towns, but is almost the only Roman deity who from first to last retained the same perfectly intelligible rustic character.
