5105 BM Satyr Infant

This is a 3D model of “Faun With Infant Bacchus,” an ancient marble statue in the British Museum. The statue depicts a satyr (Latin *faun*) playing and carrying a multitude of fruits as well as a baby Dionysus (*Bacchus*). They are accompanied by a panther. Dionysus was the last god to become an Olympian and has a somewhat mysterious background. His origin differs greatly from other Greek gods, considering he has a mortal mother. **Bibliography:** [The British Museum](https://www.britishmuseum.…
