Dionysos,
God of
Wine and...Other Things
|
|
|
Dionysos
is the Greek god of wine, agriculture, and fertility
of nature, and the patron god of the Greek stage.
Greek legends of Dionysos vary widely as to how,
where and why he was born. But all agree that he
was the son of Zeus, and was eventually born from
a mortal woman called Semele. In addition to the
attributes typically associated with him, Dionysos
represented the outstanding features of mystery
religions; ecstasy, personal deliverance from the
daily world through personal or spiritual intoxication,
and initiation into secret rites. read

ideas or to display their own likeness. The ancient
Greeks were notorious for their love of symbolism,
and on this coin of the legendary Greek king and
conqueror, 'Alexander the Great,' we find some of
the best ever produced. read
