Bacchantes
The work is a detail reworked of my installation in 3D.
In Greek
mythology, Maenads, and Bacchantes,in
Roman mitology, were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant
members of the Thiasus, the god's retinue. in Roman mythology after the
penchant of the equivalent Roman god, Bacchus, to wear a bassaris or fox-skin.
Their name literally translates as "raving ones” .Often the maenads were
portrayed as inspired by Dionysus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a
combination of dancing and intoxication. During these rites, the maenads would
dress in fawn skins and carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine
leaves and tipped with a pine cone. They would weave ivy-wreaths around their
heads or wear a bull helmet in honor of their god, and often handle or wear
snakes.
