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

Franz Stuck, "Dissonance", 1910
#FranzStuck, #FranzVonStuck, #Dissonance, #faun, #PanFlute, #year1910, #SatyrDay
