Figure descriptions
A man, identified as Bacchus in the poem text, stands with his wrists and ankles tied
to a mast on the deck of a ship. He is
nude except for a loose piece of fur cloth which hangs from his shoulder and drapes
across his body. He also wears a crown of vines. A group
of angry men surround him; they raise their swords and daggers in the air. One man,
who faces away from the viewer, drags an axe
behind him as he approaches Bacchus. 3/4-page illustration contained within a single-ruled
border.
