VI.15.1 Pompeii. December 2018. Central wall painting on south wall showing Dionysus and Ariadne, as well as the fight between Eros and Pan. Photo courtesy of Aude Durand. Kuivalainen comments – “A young half-naked Bacchus in the company of Ariadne, watching the fight about to begin, and Silenus already preparing to reward the victor with the palm leaf. The female figure’s dignified appearance suits Ariadne more than a maenad. His identification is also supported by her embracing arm. This motif of a fight between a cupid and a faun appears elsewhere as well; a good example is an outdoor scene from Herculaneum.” (MANN 9262). See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, (p.133-35, D13).
