Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

"I send you sweet perfume, ministering to scent with scent, even as one who to Bromios [Dionysos] offers the flowing gift of #Bromios."

Archaeologists have discovered a monumental frieze depicting worshipers of Dionysus in a newly excavated portion of Pompeii. The near-life-size paintings portray a procession of Dionysiac figures participating in an initiation ritual as part of the deity’s mystery cult.

I got party with the Maenads at the Met! Who’s ready to cast off gendered expectations and overthrow our oppressors?

You think they'd at least recall Bacchus and his Maenads from their childhood Narnia reading. 🙄

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

#Dionysos is a god of liberation and that includes #women. His most significant followers are women, the #maenads or "raving ones". They may have represented the dangers of #women left unchaperoned by male authority, suckling wild animals and tearing apart both humans and beasts. Dionysos is the Liberator and the women who follow him are free indeed.

It’s been too long since someone declared themselves a living god, which is why I am claiming #Dionysus. I shall party and wear leopard print. Who wants to be one of my #Maenads? You get to hang out with me in the woods, drink #wine, and tear apart those who oppress you with your bare hands! #missartworldsouthdakota

1/n Thanks to Prof. Voth`s lectures maybe got an understanding of one aspect of the dionysian myth.

The mystical place #Nysa is a wildernis outside the realm of civilisation of man, a place in the mountains where #Dionysos was raised by the #Nymphs and later returns with his #Maenads and #Satyrs to celebrate and dance.

As a #chtonic deity who travels between the underworld, the midworld and the heavens, for he is one of the #Olympians it is possible that Nysa could be understood as part...
