  1. ✨Dionysus was interested in seafood?✨

    This is part of the recently uncovered House of Thiasos at Pompeii which is covered in sprawling and near life sized portraits of followers of Dionysus including Silenus (seen here with a young lady). But it seems that the veneration of Dionysus would be incomplete indeed without some fine marine creatures!

  6. Bacchus, the god of wine (also known as Dionysus to the Greeks) lounges semi-nude in a golden and burgundy gown while holding a spectre of some kind. This is likely a thyrsus, but the telltale details are missing.

    Bacchus appears to be wearing a garland - a very typical thing in his iconography. Just off on stage right appears to be another figure holding a dish. The background of this scene is a brilliant warm red.

    The fresco comes from a house that was built on the same site, but prior to, the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. It is thought to date to the early second century CE. The house was revealled during archaeological excavations in 2022 and can be seen today as part of the tour of the baths.

  11. @novafuture Um, have you heard about the #Dionysus / #Bacchus cults? Or ritual #Saki drinking? Or beer and wine in #AncientEgypt (so important that some were buried with it)? And yes, alcohol was given to workers because the water was contaminated. The history of alcohol (and other mind-altering substances) goes back further than modern marketing hype. And yes. Everything in moderation.

  16. Lord of Mysteries, Episode 2: still no Norse mythology, but we continue with antiquity. We have Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and fertility. There's Hermes, the Greek messenger of the gods – although in the series it's an ancient language. At least the capital of the Loen Kingdom sounds Swedish – Backlund. #bacchus #antiquity #lordofmysteries #诡秘之主 #manhua #donghua

  17. ✨It’s that Bacchus time of year✨

    This hazy time between Saturnalia and the New Year has me a bit befuddled - much like this depiction of Bacchus! Hope these days are treating you well.

  19. Von Hektor zu Bacchus: Römisches Fresko, „Rückwand“ eines Larariums... Der dargestellte Berg ist übrigens der Vesuv und der in Weintrauben „gekleidete“ Gott natürlich der Gott des Weines, des Rausches und der Extase.

  20. In the next issue of Schmalk magazine: Michaelina Wautier’s Triumph of Bacchus (1650) meets modern politics.

    Our author Giorgio Vasari writes an allegorical poem connecting Bacchus—the god of intoxication and collective frenzy—to the spectacle of 2025’s world stage.

    From divine ecstasy to political delirium, the procession continues.
