The ivy in the man’s hair and the pattern of the stephanotis flowers in the woman’s crown identify them as Dionysus and Ariadne.
To memorialize their wedding, Dionysus flung the flowers in her crown into the sky to become the constellation Corona Borealis.
Ariadne has many ties to Love and Ecstasy. She was once worshipped alongside Aphrodite in the cult of Aphrodite-Ariadne at Amuthus, Cyprus.
And Her consort Dionysus is the god of ecstasy.
