Dionysus Of The Mysteries And The Basis Of Their Tragedy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161542912)

""Dionysus of the Mysteries and the Basis of Their Tragedy"" is a book written by Edouard Schure that explores the ancient Greek god Dionysus and his role in the mysteries and tragedies of Greek culture. Schure delves into the mythology and symbolism surrounding Dionysus, examining his connections to fertility, wine, and the natural world. He also discusses the various rituals and practices associated with the worship of Dionysus, including the famous Bacchanalian revelries. Schure argues that the figure of Dionysus represents a primal force of nature that is both creative and destructive, and that his presence in Greek culture reflects a deep-seated need for connection with the natural world. This book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most enigmatic figures in ancient mythology, and sheds light on the enduring appeal of Dionysus and his mysteries.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: From Sphinx to Christ: An Occult History, by Edouard Schure.
