This stunning marble masterpiece brings to life Dionysus, the revered ancient Greek deity who embodied the essence of wine, ecstatic rituals, fertility, theater, and spiritual frenzy. Wine held a pivotal position in Greek society, and the cult of Dionysus was the central focus for its uninhibited consumption. By the 7th century BC, his worship had solidified as a cornerstone of Greek religious tradition. This exquisite head was unearthed at the historic Gymnasium of Salamis.
