  6. It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! πŸ‡

    #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.

  10. 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...
