More about the book

Dionysos is deeply embedded in the cultural and natural landscape of Greece and Italy, representing the essence of life through myth and ritual. Carl Kerényi, a prominent mythologist, explores the evolution of Dionysian religion from its Minoan origins to its transformation into a universal faith during late antiquity under Roman influence. Drawing from extensive Greek literary and archaeological sources, he illustrates the rich tapestry of Dionysian worship, emphasizing the foundational role of myth in understanding this ancient tradition.
