In Greek mythology, Bacchantes were the female followers of Dionysus. The name literally translates as "raving ones", often portrayed as inspired by Dionysus into a state of ecstatic frenzy through a combination of dancing and intoxication.
In art, Bacchantes are depicted either dancing or sleeping. They are often dressed in fox-skin, the penchant of their God. In this sculpture by Johan Peter Molin, the sleeping female is resting on a fox-skin, surrounded by empty chalices and grape vines.
