Doodling some more nymphs, here's one. Their name is Myrto and they're a maenad, and consider themselves Anthea's honorary aunt/uncle/??? because they introduced her parents to each other.

Plates showing the story of Orpheus by Nicola da Urbino, c. 1520.

Orpheus meets Charon, loses Eurydice, charms animals, and finally receives a fatal beatdown from angry Maenads. I didn't know about that last part.

Birds mourn the death of Orpheus, who was torn to pieces by Maenads. Even the river mourned, whose tears swelled and caught Orpheus' head in its waters. Eventually his head & lyre washed ashore on the island of Lesbos.

🎨Henri Leopold Lévy (ca. 1870).

Jean Delville - Orphée mort (The Death of Orpheus, 1893)
/By one of the versions, he was teared to pieces by Maenads. His head, still singing, with his lyre, fell into the water and floated before washing up on the island of Lesbos./

Priestess of Bacchus

The cult of Dionysus is often regarded as a "cult of the souls"; his maenads feed the dead through blood-offerings, and he acts as a divine communicant between the living and the dead.
