Description:
Mythological photogravure of Bacchantes, who played an important role in Greek mythology, literature, and art.
These women worshipped the Greek god Dionysos, and, along with the notorious satyrs, formed part of the god’s entourage. Indeed, Bacchantes frequently appear together with the frenzied deity of wine in both myth and art, where they are depicted holding Dionysian symbols such as the thyrsos, ivy, or grapes, and often shown wearing panther or fawn skins.
