Dionysus: Myth and Cult

�A god who is mad! A god, part of whose nature it is to be insane! What did they experience or see—these men on whom the horror of this concept must have forced itself?
The visage of every true god is the visage of a world. There can be a god who is mad only if there is a mad world which reveals itself through him. Where is this world? Can we still find it? Can we appreciate its nature? For this no one can help us but the god himself.�
this was actually so good. dionysus was always really boring to me bc he’s usually portrayed as the god of wine and that’s that, but after realizing what else he encompassed (life, death, madness, joy, suffering, the list goes on) i’m obsessed and this book did a really good job of explaining all of that and i found it to be an enjoyable read and relatively accessible for an academic book :D
