Euoi! Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 
"Listen to Pan, how he seems to be hymning #Dionysos on the crests of Kithairon, as he dances an Euian fling. And Kithairon in the form of a man laments the woes soon to occur on his slopes, and he wears an ivy crown aslant on his head"
Philostratus, Imagines 1.14
'#Satyr and little #Bacchus', 2nd century CE, Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli
Do you have a Holiday Hangover? #Antinous says wear an ivy wreath like #Dionysus / #Bacchus. Ivy wards off ill effects of alcohol, and makes you look divine! A crumbling papyrus from #Oxyrhynchus prescribes medicinal wreaths to cure everything from headache to hemorrhoids: https://antinousgaygod.blogspot.com/2019/04/antinous-era-egyptian-hangover-cure-was.html
Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology!
"To escape the midday lash of #Helios (the Sun) moving on high, he [#Dionysos] cleansed his body in the stream of the Meionian River bubbling gently [...] Playful Satyrs lifted their heels in air, and tumbled plunging headover into the river."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 10.142

#NovemberCountdown to the birthday of Antinous on November 27th: #Antinous as #Bacchus/#Dionysus at #Hermitage Museum #StPetersburg Russia.
I just bought ten liters of box wine (for 19.2 cents a liter plus tax) that was “best by” April 2022. Good thing it’s the season for highly-spiced and well-sweetened mulled wine!
I am Bacchus, after all, and a long winter is coming.
Probably I don't have a budget for the quality of thing I want. Probably the thing I want is an article of laborious custom artisanship.
But it's costume season and that has turned my mind to full-face over-the-head rubber/latex masks.
I want a Bacchus one. For revelry, sure, but also possibly for some ErosBlog-branded video projects.
Google failing me so far. If anybody knows where on this big internet to find such a thing, link me up!

Oh, are we doing Last Supper versus Bacchanalian/Dionysian revelry discourse tonight? Fun! All the best fights boil down to drinking contests between the Christians and the pagans. Hint: we always win!
Here's my contribution to the discourse: https://www.erosblog.com/2016/12/24/reveling-reveling-reveling/
Post features the painting "The Youth Of Bacchus" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. The youth are drunk, naked, and worshipping their asses off.
Interested in #Dionysus (the star of the opening ceremonies of the #Olympics)??
We got you 
You can learn one of his origin stories here (spoilers: Daddy Z is involved): https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/corona-australis-myth-and-ret-constellations/
You can learn about his followers, the Maenads, here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/asterism-the-maenads-in-mythology/
And about his mortal wife (who he made immortal): https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/corona-borealis-myths-and-retconstellations/
no new episode tomorrow (Jordan was out of town) -- but.. I just did the transcription for our #maenads episode... so... maybe check that one out?! It's a fun look at the frenzied, mad, wild women who follow Dionysus (and also murder #orpheus 
)

"Beardless #Ampelos, they say, a Nymph's and a Satyr's son, was loved by #Bacchus [Dionysos] on Ismarian hills. He trusted him with a vine hanging from the leaves of an elm; it is now named for the boy. The reckless youth fell picking gaudy grapes on a branch. Liber [#Dionysos] lifted the lost boy to the stars."
