It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
#Dionysos is a famously effeminate god. He even carries the epithet "Androgynos", describing him as someone doing both active, male things and passive, female ones, specifically during sexual intercourse. The Macedonians called him by the epithet Pseudanor (Ψευδάνωρ), "fake man", metaphorically an effeminate man.
He is the god who blurs the lines between male and female.

Ὡς Διόνυσος ἐρώμενος Χείρωνος, ἐξ οὗ καὶ μάθοι τούς τε κώμους καὶ τὰς βακχείας καὶ τὰς τελετάς.
"#Dionysos was the eromenos (youthful lover) of #Chiron, from whom he learned the songs and dances, the Bacchic rites and the initiations into the mysteries."

According to "the ritual imitates the myth"
#Dionysos was befallen with madness which #Hera put upon him and he rages in insanity over three continents. #Divine #madness is one of his major attributes.
A #ritual of #catharsis could be a #bacchanal rite in which ones dances and give oneself completely up to the rhythm and song. Dancing oneself to extasy, engage in divine madness, loosing oneself in the #dance, exhaust the body to the limits until you fall and emerging cleansed after the #rite.

"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
🎨 #Dionysos, supported by the satyr #Ampelus. Gaeco-Roman bronze, 1st century BCE-CE, today in the Royal-Athena Galleries, New York

""He [Dionysos] appeared on a jutting headland by the shore of the fruitless sea, seeming like a stripling in the first flush of manhood: his rich, dark hair was waving about him, and on his strong shoulders he wore a purple robe."
Homeric Hymn 7 to Dionysos

The tympanon (tympanum in Latin) was the most popular frame-drum in ancient Greek music, producing a loud rumbling sound not far from the sound of the orchestral timpani drums today. https://www.worldhistory.org/Tympanon/ #History #Aulos #Dionysos #GreekArt
