Information
has glosseng: Bacchic art refers, in general, to art honouring the god Bacchus, but in specific to representations, particularly sculpture, of his followers, such as satyrs, centaurs and hermaphrodites (for this reason, ancient Greek plays are not often referred to as Bacchic, although many were performed in his honour). Bacchic art is often erotic or intentionally shocking, often focusing on seduction or rape. Most of the finest examples date from the Hellenistic period.
