A newly discovered fresco in Pompeii is shedding fresh light on the mysterious Dionysiac cults of the ancient world - and how they depicted “wild” women who broke free of the male order.
More than a century after the famous Villa of the Mysteries was unearthed, archaeologists have revealed a strikingly detailed frieze depicting the procession of Dionysus, the god of wine.
The nearly life-sized fresco, known as a "megalography" due to its large-scale figures, was found in a grand banqueting room in Insula 10 of Region IX in central Pompeii. It spans three sides of the room, while the fourth side opens onto a garden.
The vivid artwork portrays bacchantes, or maenads, as both dancers and fierce hunters. Some carry slaughtered kid goats or wield swords while holding the innards of animals. Young satyrs, with their distinctive pointed ears, are shown playing the double flute. At the centre of the frieze stands a mortal woman accompanied by an aged Silenus holding a torch, suggesting her initiation into the Dionysiac mysteries—a cult promising rebirth and the possibility of an afterlife.
Explaining its significance, Gabriel Zuchtriegel said: “These frescoes have a profoundly religious meaning which, however, was also designed to decorate areas for holding banquets and feasts, rather like when we find a copy of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam on the wall of an Italian restaurant in New York to create a little bit of atmosphere.
“Behind these magnificent paintings, which play with illusion and reality, we can observe the signs of a religious crisis that was affecting the ancient world, but we can also grasp the grandeur of a ritual that dates back to an archaic world.”
He also said the bacchante or maenad, “expressed the wild, untameable side of women,” who “break free from male order to dance freely” and take on traditional male pursuits like hunting.

Young satyrs, with their distinctive pointed ears, are shown playing the double flute. At the centre of the frieze stands a mortal woman accompanied by an aged Silenus holding a torch, suggesting her initiation into the Dionysiac mysteries—a cult promising rebirth and the possibility of an afterlife.
Explaining its significance, Gabriel Zuchtriegel said: “These frescoes have a profoundly religious meaning which, however, was also designed to decorate areas for holding banquets and feasts, rather like when we find a copy of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam on the wall of an Italian restaurant in New York to create a little bit of atmosphere.
“Behind these magnificent paintings, which play with illusion and reality, we can observe the signs of a religious crisis that was affecting the ancient world, but we can also grasp the grandeur of a ritual that dates back to an archaic world.”

NEWS - Paläontologen haben in Venezuela die Fossilien einer riesenhaften Schildkrötenart entdeckt
Colombian paleontologist, Dr. Edwin Cadena, taking notes from one of the male specimens of Stupendemys geographicus during a fieldwork season in 2016. See National News story NNshell. The biggest turtle ever to have lived weighing more than a tonne with an eight foot long shell roamed modern-day Colombia 10 million years ago. Named Stupendemys geographicus and twice as big as the largest one today, it may even have weaponised its fabulously armoured carapace in fights to the death with male rivals over mates - or food. At the time the continent was a 'lost world' of bizarre oversized creatures - including enormous rats and alligators. Stupendemys was unearthed at an animal graveyard known as the La Venta archaeological site in the Tatacoa Desert of Colombia. *** Local Caption *** 30706428

Der Heilige Gral der Paläontologie: Wissenschaftler finden das mit 558 Mio Jahre älteste Tier der Welt in einer Versteinerung
Isolated organically preserved matter from a Dickinsonia fossil.. See national story NNFAT . The world's oldest animal dating back 558 million years has been unearthed in Russia. Our earliest ancestor was finally identified after traces of cholesterol were found on it, the blood fat that proves it is an animal, not a plant or other life form. Scientists have described the game changing discovery as the 'Holy Grail' of palaeontology. The fossil looks like a cross between a leaf and a thumb print. The bizarre marine creature grew to almost four and a half feet long (1.4 metres), and almost as wide. / action press *** Local Caption *** 27757239

Neue Pflanzenart entdeckt: Im britischen Leicester wächst ein einzigartiger Baum
Neue Pflanzenart entdeckt: Im britischen Leicester wächst ein einzigartiger Baum

***A unique tree which has never been seen anywhere in the WORLD has been discovered - in the middle of LEICESTER. The new species - officially named 'Salix caprea x cinerea subspecies oleifolia x purpurea x viminalis' (corr) - is a mix of four different types of willow. Park keepers made the remarkable find during a land survey ahead of proposed plans to build a new floodlit football pitch. But the willow tree's discovery has now thwarted the massive construction project, which campaigners claimed would destroy large swathes of the park's ecosystem.*** (FOTO: DUKAS/ACTIONPRESS)
