A superb and spirited study on this complex Greek god - the son of Zeus and a mortal woman, the twice-born god, the god of duality, of life and death, the dying and suffering god, the enigmatically mad god who also inspires madness - in whom writers as eminent as Hölderlin and Nietzsche found the best symbol for the primordial secrets of the world and life. For students of Nietzsche and Zarathustra in particular, it ought to be as essential reading as any other secondary source.
