Title |
Sarcophagus Depicting the Birth of Dionysus |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This sarcophagus, also called the "Childhood Sarcophagus," depicts the birth of the god Dionysus (the Roman Bacchus) in exquisitely detailed high relief. At the left, "the newborn god is nursed by," a nymph. And surrounded by Silenus-his future teacher-and other attendants, "including one preparing basin for the child's first bath." A panther cub, the god's favorite animal, is seated on the ground. To the right, satyrs and "maenads," including drunken old man, celebrate the god's birth. On the lid, satyrs and maenads-followers of the wine god-feast at a banquet. On the sides of the lid, Dionysus's panther drinks from an overturned wine vessel. The coffin is small, as if made for a child rather than for an adult. |
