It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

"If he [#Ampelos] joined with a yearsmate hunter to follow chase, Dionysos jealous held him back, lest another be struck like himself with a heartbewitching shaft, and now enslaved by love should seduce the fickle boy's fancy."
Nonnons, Dionysiaka 10.230

“And when his natural tail’s extremity hung long and loose along his loins, this to Bacchos was more honey-sweet than sweetest honey”.
