    #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.

  16. 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...

  17. #WalterOtto draws a connection from the #dionysian #maenads and their frenzy and ecstacy to the medieval phaenomenon of #Tanzwut or in english #dancingmania.
    #Paracelsus (1492-1541 CE) wrote about this, naming it #choreomania.
    It is a psychic epidemic which forces the befallen to dance till exhaustion and breakdown or death.

    The #dyonisanorgies were probably more like religious choreomania and spiritual ecstasy and sexual of a certain kind than our todays imagination of a penetration orgy.
