  1. 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."
    Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 5.90

  2. 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.
