Item Details

Description

Athens, Greece, ca. 500 BCE. Attic Black-figured olpe, front panel decorated with a bearded Dionysos / Dionysus sitting upon a small chair, his head turned backwards, looking at a standing maenad, while another maenad stands in front presenting him with a large kylix (certainly of wine). Meandering vines in the background. Upper rim decorated with a checker pattern and row of leaves. Dionysos is wearing a fancy drapery garment, wreath on his head. Painted details in added red and white. Size: 4.75" W x 8.5" H (12.1 cm x 21.6 cm)

The ancient women of Bacchus, the maenads, or bacchants are one of the most prolific groups in surviving religious imagery from antiquity. Artists and sculptors throughout the ages have made them their subjects. These wild women who engaged in uninhibited frenzy were considered a mystery even in the ancient world. For the ancients, the maenads represented the dangers of women left unchaperoned by male authority. Yet for many women, the worship of Bacchus allowed them to experience what life could be like as an unfettered maenad.
