| dc.description | Overall view; Copy of a Greek relief of ca. 425-400 BCE attributed to Kallimachos; the Roman adaptation dates from the Early Imperial (Augustan) period. Maenads were mythical women inspired by the god of wine, Dionysos, to roam the mountains and forests, singing and dancing in a state of ecstatic frenzy. This figure, wearing an ivy wreath and carrying a thyrsos (fennel stalk) bedecked with ivy leaves and berries, moves forward, trancelike, her drapery swirling about her. She was copied from a famous relief of dancing maenads dated to the late fifth century BCE, when Euripides portrayed the manic devotées of Dionysos in his play the Bacchae.
