Description
“You do not know what your life is nor what you are doing nor who you are”
-The Bacchae, Euripides, 405 BC
I finally drew my favourite Greek God, Dionysus, the God of wine with some Maenads (his female worshippers)! This piece was inspired by Euripides' Bacchae (a great read, I would recommend). I liked the scene where the messenger described the Maenads chilling and letting loose so I wanted to do something similar.

Dionysus would have provided many warnings regardless - you have shown your reverence wisely lmao

This is great! I think my favourite part is the tired but enamoured look on the face of the Maenad on the bottom right - really captures the exhausting but exhilarating nature of Dionysus's worship!
