OverviewDionysos in Myth, Drama & Comedy explores the presence of the god of wine, drama and spiritual ecstasy in Greek myth, tradition and the theatre, particularly the tragedy of The Bacchae by Euripides and the comedy Batrachoi or Frogs by Aristophanes. It investigates Bacchic elements in Celtic culture through comparative mythology, finding similarities between Dionysos and Celtic gods such as Lug (a deity closely associated with the Earth goddess and her drink of sovereignty) and Cernunnos Lord of the Animals. Reference is also made to archaeological discoveries such as the Vix and Lavau burials that reveal the long interaction between the Greek and Celtic worlds.Also by the Author: The Viking RunesThe Celtic Heroic Tradition in Myth & Legen Full Product DetailsAuthor: Pall Thormod MorrissonPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Imprint: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.195kg ISBN: 9781976590825ISBN 10: 1976590825 Pages: 138 Publication Date: 04 October 2017 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock  We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
