In Greek mythology a thyrsus (thyrsos) was a staff of giant fennel (Ferula communis) covered with ivy vines and leaves sometimes wound with taeniae and always topped with a pine cone. These staffs were carried by Dionysus and his followers. Euripides wrote that honey dripped from the thyrsos staves that the Bacchic maenads carried.[1] The thyrsus was a sacred instrument at religious rituals and fetes."
