| Description |
English: The wine-god Dionysus appears often on vases of this shape (called a bell "krater"), which held wine for drinking parties. He is usually shown as a bearded and majestic god. Here, Dionysus holds a "thyrsus" (a pole often twined with ivy and grapevines and topped with a pine cone) in one hand and a "kantharos" (a high-handled drinking cup) in the other. He turns his head to gaze at a maenad who follows, while a satyr playing the double flutes leads the procession. The maenad carries an "oinochoe" (a wine jug) and a lighted torch, indicating that the group's journey takes place at night. |
