Thereafter his usual means of transport will be a chariot drawn by panthers and lions and driven by Maron or a satyr.9 The appearance of Nonnus’ adult Dionysus (e.g. 14.233– 246) matches his contemporary images: his longish hair,10 in which vines and ivy are often intertwined, is a characteristic feature; his shoes11 and the horn with self-pouring wine which is seen in artistic representations are also mentioned.12 This image is related to the long literary tradition going back to Euripides’ Bacchae.13 Euripidean influence surfaces in the 7 9.11–15, 27, 120–124, 129–131; 13.139–141; 42.140. 8 9.159–160, 171–179, 184–192.	cache/grbs-1281.pdf	txt/grbs-1281.txt
