Tryphe

Personification of Tryphe, Dahne, 4th century AD. Tryphe was the Greek personification of "Good Life" (the museum catalogue that I used calls it "drunkenness")

The Wikipedia states: "Tryphé (Greek: τρυφἠ) -- variously glossed as "softness", "voluptuousness", "magnificence" and "extravagance", none fully adequate—is a concept that drew attention (and severe criticism) in Roman antiquity when it became a significant factor in the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty."

I must confess I'm not sure if my perspective corrections are correct.
