This God is DARKER Than the Myths
Notas do episódio
Today, we journey through ancient myth, ritual, and tragedy to explore one of Greece’s most chaotic and misunderstood deities: Dionysus. From his miraculous, twice-born origins and the ecstatic madness of his Maenad worshipers to thrilling resistance myths and Euripides’ masterpiece The Bacchae, we examine how the god of wine, theater, and liberation shaped the ancient psyche and still captivates us today.
