Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
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!🏛 #Satyr giving a grapevine to Bacchus as a child; cameo glass, from first half of the 1st century CE Italy

7 days after the #Solstice: the light is returning!
"He called to #Helios, reminding the chief of the stars of his love for Klymene, and prayed him to hold back his car & check the stalled horses with the heavenly bit, that he might prolong the sweet light, that he might go slow to his setting & with sparing whip increase the day to shine again."

It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️
Happy #Solstice to all who celebrate!
It's Helios' shortest work day of the year, he is small and distant:
"At the winter solstice, the sun would seem to be a little child like that which the Egyptians bring forth from a shrine on the appointed day, since the day is then at its shortest and the god is accordingly shown as a tiny infant."
Macrobius, #Saturnalia🏛️ #Helios figurine, Antalya Museum
