The Women of Amphissa is an oil on canvas painting by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, made in 1887.

Alma-Tadema accurately recreates on his canvas the events recounted by Plutarch, in his book Moralia: "At the time when usurpers from Phocis seized the sanctuary of Delphi and the Thebans declared the so-called sacred war on them, the women in the service of Dionysus, who are called the maenads, in a trance and wandering at night, did not notice that they were in the territory of Amphissa.

Exhausted and without having yet regained their senses, they fell down on the market and felt asleep scattered where they had fallen.

The painting shows the maeneds upon waking, lying on the ground, with their hair disheveled and barefoot.

The attitude of the maeneds contrasts sharply with the women who have come for their shopping, who appear stiff, frozen and recall, by their gravity, the ancient Greek statues.
