Product Description
This relief represents Dionysos. His name meaning "God in Man", was also known as Bacchus in Rome, God of wine and the mystic deliriums. He is wearing on his head one of his most characteristic attributes, grapes and grape leaves. In the old Greece, Dionysos was celebrated with processions evoking, by means of masks, the genies of the earth and fertility. These celebrations were the origin of the most typical representations of theatre: comedy, tragedy and satyrical drama. In Rome, his cult degenerated into hedonistic rites.
