SUMMARY

Hephaistos is led back to heaven by the god Dionysos. The drunken Hephaistos, holding a pair of tongs, is supported a Satyros. Beside him walks Dionysos, holding a thyrsos (pine-cone tipped staff) and drinking cup. A tambourine playing Mainas Nymphe and dancing Satyros lead the procession.
