This tintinabulum, a Roman wind chime, is a phallus with a longer, thinner phallus and a phallus up its arse. This is very efficient craftmanship, three in one for thrice the good luck!

We all need a sweet tush on Monday, right? And who better to provide it than golden Aphrodite herself?

Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

"Strong mead was served and the drinking was heavy. Next to Ægir sat Bragi. They drank together and exchanged stories. Bragi [the skaldic god of poetry] told Ægir about the many things that had happened to the Æsir."
Prose Edda, Skáldskaparmál

Is there a Norse god who fills a similar role to Dionysos?
The Norse did not have theatre nor wine. There is no god of mead or beer as far as I know. There is no god or goddess of festivities I think but I'm happy to be proven wrong!
