Can you help me answer the question please?

Yes. Another example of symbolism is shown in the passage: “the goat-footed balloonMan”. The words “goat-footed” could be describing a satyr, which is a fertility god in Greek mythology. As fertility gods, it would be obvious that satyrs would come out in the time of year when growth and fertility is at its height. Does this help? if not i have more.
