Relief from Roman villa

Two satyrs and maenad, followers of the Greek god of wine, lead an ecstatic procession. In Greek legend satyrs were lustful male woodland gods with equine ears and tails. Maenads were wild, frenzied women. One satyr plays double pipes and the maenad bangs drum. The other satyr, accompanied by a panther, carries Dyonisos' pine-con staff. The figures on this Roman panel were inspired by earlier Greek works.两名萨堤罗斯（satyrs）与一名迈那得斯（maenad）作为希腊酒神的追随者，正率领一场狂热的游行队伍。在希腊传说中，萨堤罗斯是生性好色的男性林神，生有马耳与马尾；迈那得斯则是狂野癫狂的女性信众。其中一名萨堤罗斯正吹奏双管笛，迈那得斯则擂鼓助兴。另一名萨堤罗斯在一头黑豹的伴随下，手持狄俄尼索斯（Dyonisos）的松果形权杖。这幅罗马饰板上的形象，其创作灵感源自更早的希腊艺术作品。
