Maenads in the context of "Pine cone"

In Greek mythology, the name Myrto (Ancient Greek: Μυρτώ, romanized: Murtṓ, lit. 'myrtle') may refer to one of the following characters:

• Myrto, a possible eponym for the Myrtoan Sea.
• Myrto, one of the Maenads who followed Dionysus in the Indian War.
• Myrto, an Amazon and one of the possible mothers of Myrtilus by Hermes.
• Myrto, daughter of Menoetius of Opus, sister to Patroclus. She had a daughter Eucleia by Heracles.

A bassaris (βασσαρίς) is a fox skin worn as clothing in ancient times. The Greek god Dionysus was associated with the bassaris, and his followers (the Maenads) were said to wear it. As a result, they were known as the "Bassarids." Dionysus was said to have worn the bassaris, although this detail was only to be found in Thrace.

Andokides (/ˌændoʊˈsaɪdiːz/; Greek: Ἀνδοκίδης) was a famous potter of Ancient Greece. The painter of his pots was an anonymous artist, the Andokides painter, who is recognized as the creator of the red-figure style, beginning around 530 BC. His work is compared with Exekias, who was said to have created the most detailed and best examples of black-figure pottery. Exekias is said to be the teacher of Andokides. Although the work of Andokides and his painter is considered inferior to that of Exekias, the invention of red figure was an important innovation.

The most renowned work of Andokides is the amphora depicting the god Dionysus and two of his maenads.

Sterope (/ˈstɛrəpiː/; Ancient Greek: Στερόπη, [sterópɛː], from στεροπή, steropē, lightning) was the name of several individuals in Greek mythology:
