Original artwork description:

For a long time it was believed that the culture of winemaking in the form in which we know it today was finally formed just in the era of ancient Rome, but it turns out that it was borrowed by them from the ancient Greeks, who learned about this drink long before the appearance of Roman legionnaires ... In ancient Greece, the appearance of this alcoholic drink was associated with the satyr Ampelos, a devoted friend of the god of winemaking Dionysus. One day a satyr fell off a cliff and crashed. God missed him very much and asked the great Zeus to return his faithful companion.
A powerful celestial being turned the deceased into a vine, which began to bear fruit, and the drink from them resembled divine nectar. Subsequently, wine, a gift from Olympus, became a symbol of vitality.
