Summary

Description
English: Relief depicting Dionysus. Pentelic marble. Former Louiza Streit Collection. The frame and the holes of attachment indicate that it served as wall decoration. On a kline reclines a poet with his mistress. In front of them stands a table with food. On the low pedestal are masks and rolls. Leaning on a satyr approaches Dionysus, and another satyr is loosening the god’s sandals. A curtain separates the epiphany of the god from the urban area at the back. Four satyrs and a maenad completed the relief on the right. The scene represents the visit of Dionysus and his thiasos to a victorious poet, a new composition that emerged in the “neoattic“ workshops around 100 B.C. Early 1st c. A.D. Accession Number: 5147. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Athens, Greece. Text credit: Museum inscription.
