It is a hard book to read, its language and structure are not easily accessible. Despite the struggle, I loved reading it. It is so dense with ideas and careful observation of evidence, based on years of Kerenyi's work. It's an essential reading on Dionysus, Dionysian cults and origins of the cults of life's inscrutability such as Christianity. Kerenyi really expanded a nietzschean interpretation so prevalent in modernity. Dionysus doesn't need Apollo to be his solar rational double, as he is quite capable of such duality himself.
