The Indian Triumph of Dionysus

When I visited the Houston Museum of Art, I stumbled upon Indian victory in Dionysus. Beginning in Rome, it was created by the rich believers of Dionysus' mysterious worship in the second half of the second century. The worshipers obviously wanted to build a sarcophagus commemorating Dionysus' achievement. In addition, Dionysus is surrounded by mystery characters. Because the producer wants the audience to know who he is involved with. Through the combination of these two things, the patron wishes to reveal the period of history that they believe they are prominent in his life.

This story includes three themes that follow the legend of Dionysus. One theme is hostility against Doniosus and his cults against the spatters of Hera and the places he visited. The second is the relationship between Dionysus and madness. The third one is the idea of ​​death and regeneration. This is an important part of the identity of Dionysus as a god of harvest and birth. Symbol of creativity, the life line of nature. Because women are related to women's responsibility for childbirth and harvest, women are flocking. Following tradition, these women give up their families and go to the country to join the Bacchus Festival called Bacchanalia in Rome. They wore animal skins with a stem of fennel and a stick called thyrsi made of ivy and ivy. Thyrsi is a symbol of fertility, reproductive and sickness.

Dionysus formed an army of women (Menado) and conducted campaigns in all living worlds. Dionysus is known for his Indian campaign. He also instructed everyone to know his ritual, but he severely punishes those who oppose him (eg Lycurgus and Pentheus). Sartre, Maynard and others attended him. Semele is the daughter of Cadmus and Harmonia. Zeus fell in love with Semel and worked with her. But to deceive Hera jealousy, Semele, Hera took a picture of Semele nurse Beroe and to Semele to ask her to come to her when she came to her. It is God. In her proposal, Semel made this request to Zeus and was hit by a sniper. After that, Dionysus raised her mother from Hades, named her Thyone, and brought her to Heaven. So she was immortalized by Zeus. After the death of Semel, Zeus hugged the fetus on the knee.
