My book, the Liber Dionysi, is now available in a second edition, featuring a new cover, revised formatting, and dozens of new texts! Link (which includes a list of the texts) is here!

Description:

Dionysus (also known as Bacchus, Liber, or Fufluns) is a god of spiritual liberation, political freedom, and ecstatic joy. You may also know him as the god of wine, theatre, festivals, and the wild. He originated in the ancient Mediterranean but today has worshippers all over the world.

However, many of the myths of Dionysus have remained scattered throughout multiple works rather than in one coherent volume. With this book, that is no longer. The Liber Dionysi, Latin for the Book of Dionysus, is a compendium of various Dionysian myths. The name itself is a pun—Liber is not only Latin for ‘book’, but is also another name for Dionysus, this word meaning ‘Free one’. This is one of Dionysus’ oldest names, cognate with the Greek Eleuthereus—the Liberator. It is to Dionysus Eleuthereus, god of every liberation, that this book is dedicated.

Showing the power of the human and the divine to feel—laugh, love, cry, scream—herein are his births to Persephone and Semele as depicted in Nonnus’ Dionysiaca, his loves and losses of Ampelus and Ariadne, his bloody triumph in Euripides’ Bacchae, his farcical descent into hell in Aristophanes’ Frogs, and his ascent to Olympus. These are the texts that evoke his faith. Here is the book of Dionysus.

Athena, based on 2000-year-old bronze bust of a Yemeni princess whose name was written in the Sabaic language on her neck "Nadeen dhe Sadqen Shams". I thought the writings looked like a cool chocker necklace.

I also redesigned her a bit to look more like her father.

Yes the Gods are loving, but they are also mighty. They are flawed, but they’re also giving and kind. They don’t need to be one or the other. All of their countless opposing facets can coexist at once.
