Amphissa was the capital of a yearly celebration to pay tribute to the god Bacchus. In 350 B.C., the domain was overwhelmed by the military from Phocis, blending dread that the bacchantes would get defenseless after their celebrating to assault by the aggressors. The women of Amphissa, therefore, stepped in to secure the dozing bacchantes for the duration of the night, guarding them against being violated by the rival.
