jacob jordaens ... the satyr and the peasant ...
he worked on the theme at least five times ... was the fable particularly important to him, or to his clients, in some way that we no longer understand ?
erasmus published this fable and many others in his adagia of 1500 ...

https://archive.org/stream/proverbschieflyt00blaniala#page/n199/mode/2up/search/satyr
... the adagia must have been a go-to-source for lots of artists in the subsequent century ... think of brueghel's netherlandish proverbs ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlandish_Proverbs
or maybe hans hoffman ...

... all long before jordaens' versions from about 1620
... wikipedia carries an excellent article on the fable, all of its tellings and interpretations ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satyr_and_the_Traveller
... and here's an excellent compilation of images of jordaens' pictures
