Summary
| Description |
English: PLATE VI
Silenoi and Maenads Two nude and bearded Silenoi with horses' tails are each carrying a Maenad on their shoulders. One Maenad holds in her lap the fawn which is to be torn asunder in the ritual, while the other is beating a pair of rattles. The heads of both women are bound with garlands of ivy-leaves, which, together with the long sinuous stem dividing the two groups of figures, are among the emblems of Dionysos. From a black-figured amphora of about 475 b.c., found at Gela (Monumenti Antichi, xvii, Plate XXXVII). See pp. 267-70. |
