Gods and Heroes of the Ancient World
Pages: 177
Publisher: Routledge (This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2006.)
Quality: good: pdf
Dionysos is one of the most-studied ancient Greek gods for students and academics. He is popularly known as the god of wine and frenzied abandon, and has great significance for theatre - drama, in fact, originated as part of the cult of Dionysos. However, Seaford's book covers a wider range of issues, such as mystery, cult and philosophy, which have been overlooked by many studies. As a volume in the Gods and Heroes series, this work will provide an indispensable introduction to the subject, or reference point for higher levels of study.
Richard Seaford is Professor of Greek Literature and Head of Department at the University of Exeter.
