Dionysus
instinctive side of personality
admitted to Olympus later
some say displaced Hestia to become one of the 12
influenced poetic and religious imaginations of the West
also known as Bacchus
male principle of fertility
complementary to female principle embodied in Demeter
encouraged burgeoning of everything alive
think ivy was a sign of his presence
wore leopard skin
stood for a distinctive form of human experience-madness in which one's ordinary sense of self is lost
Bacchae= best written document of this god= play by Euripides
Birth/ Early youth
Zeus- love w/ Semele
princess of the house of Thebes
daughter of king Cadmus
came to her side as a mortal man
Semele --> soon pregnant
Hera= Jealous, came to her as an old woman
told her that maybe Zeus's story of being a god was a ploy to bring her to bed
Zeus came, Semele asked for him to appear as he does when he makes love to Hera
true to his word he did
burned Semele to a crisp
Hermes saved the fetus
Zeus sewed it into his thigh
removed the stitches months later= Dionysus was born again
"twice-born god"
Hermes carried child to Ino = queen of Orchomenus
sister to Semele and wife to king Athamas
Ino- disguised the divine child in girl's clothing= protect from Hera
Hera--> not deceived
drove Ino and Athamas insane
Athamas shot one of his sons , mistaking him for a fawn
Ino boiled the other son alive in a pot
ran with the pot to gulf of Corinth and leaped
she and child= transformed to sea-deities
Ino-> name change to Leucothea = white goddess
to save Dionysus from further persecution-->Zeus turns child into a goat
Hera delivers him to nymphs of Nysa
there he discovered vine/ art of making wine
Hera struck him with same maddness
met Phrygian goddess Cybele = Rhea
cured him of his madness
female followers= Bacchae
male follers= satyrs= half human creatures w/ erect Phalli
later they acquired goat like legs
traveled in a chariot drawn by panthers
rewarded king Midas w/ single wish for hospitality
asked that everything he touched be turned to gold
asked to take it back-->bathe in waters of Pactolus river= carried away the curse
gold settled in the land-> Lydia= one of riches kingdoms
Dionysus married Adiadne = daughter of king Minos
resistance when returned home from his travels in the east- bringing new religion
he strikes those who resist with different punishments that include madness
Bacchae
Dionysus in Thebes = best known resistance takes place ( city of his birth)
returns to take vengeance on his mother's sisters- Agave, Autonoe, Ino
Sisters denied Semele's claim that she slept w/ Zeus-- she was destroyed for telling such an outrageous lie
cast a spell of madness over the sisters
Chorus=Asian Bacchae= loyal sane followers
Pentheus- denies new religion and bad mouths Dionysus' tale
Thiresias and Cadmus attempt to persuade her to accept new religion
order stranger to be arrested
Dionysus enters in bonds
Pentheus does not recognize the god= questions stranger in a debate
slander of the god
Dionysus does not give information other then the god is watching over him
guards take away Dionysus
thunder, earth quakes, palace collapses
Dionysus reappears, free of bonds
messenger describes what he witnessed
wondrous things women performed
had Pentheus seen it she would not scorn the god
city boy suggests snatching Agave= Pentheus' mother
hid in ambush
Agave led beasts (Bacchae)
He is still not persuaded
-->summons troops for action against Bacchae
Dionysus cast spell over Pentheus to propose alternate course
Dionysus has Pantheus dress as a women to disguise him from the drunk Bacchae women-->spy on mother and attendents
Messenger enters and describes in glory death of Pantheus
Dionysus made a pine tree bend low and Pentheus climbed upon it
Dionysus let the tree snap upright, then disappeared
mother ripped off arm= god had given power to her hand
Ino tore flesh apart
Agave enters with the head stuck on her thyrsus
her father brings her back to her senses--> realizes she has killed her son
Dionysus sentences Agave and Cadmus to exile
Dionysus Journey to the land of the dead
did not want to leave his mother, Semele in the house of Hades
plungedin into the underworld and persuaded Hades
changed her name to Thyone
she became a god like her son--> joined the other Olympians
loved creatures noted for their strength, ferocity, or sexual vitality
assoviated w/ wet components of living things: semen, sap, milk, blood
death and ressurection- motif in Dionysiac myth
takes vengeance to those who reject him
Lycurgus pruned off the limbs of his child
Minyads feasted on their own children
Proetids= similar fate
Etruscan pirates- went insane, threw themselves into the sea
King Pentheus- tried to arrest the god--> grows delirious and marches to his own doom
Agave, Ino, and Autonoe deny the god-> dismember Pentheus
even those who assist him may come to a bad end
mother Semele- burned to ashes
nurse Ino- went insane- boiled her son alive
When Dionysus comes, disaster follows
also brings resurrection and life as well
Ino= sea goddess
Semele= joins gods
Dionysian religion quite different from other ancient deities
greeks beileved they could feel his presence directly
dancing, beating drums, playing of flutes, consumtion of wine, tearing apart of an animal and eating raw flesh= direct experience
followers experienced ecstacy (outside oneself)
when present, devotees lost sense of personal identity and became one w. the god
associated with theature
tragic drama could be associated w/ his tales
