PSA
Tumblr has changed how they process submissions from non-tumblr users.
Now, if a mod edits a submission posted by someone who isn't submitting from a tumblr account (eg. by giving an email) to add custom tags, Tumblr no longer retains the info from the original poster.
To prevent mistakes, please add your username or name in the submission itself so that we can attribute it properly even when a mod needs to add custom tags manually.
Time to announce the winners!!!
For good Fortune! The 2024 Rural Dionysia is now officially over. The poll is now closed, and it is time to reveal the winners of this year's edition:
For the Freestyle poetry category, the winner is:
Helene / Klytemnestra by @apiswitchcraft
For the Modern Hymn category, the winner is
Minor Hymn to Love (Eros) by @piristephes
and finally, for the “Complete the Fragment” category, the winner is
For We Are Only Mortal - By Aön Re of @hyakinthou-naos
Thank you to everyone who has participated and voted and big congratulations to our three winners for this edition!
For those who celebrate it, receive our best wishes, and that you have a merry Rural Dionysia and happy holiday season regardless of what you celebrate.
Reminder: The City Dionysia has its own blog @dionysia-ta-astika, so any upcoming news will be posted there. Give that blog a follow if you want to be updated. The City Dionysia is expected to be held between early February and early March 2025.

the kiss of these lips you will deny
again
though they began (they ruled) a poem's simple phrase
you took the knowledge they contained
my love
in your cunning twist a new meaning now sits
where once my ardor sang your rhyme
refrains
as the gods are far from mortal care
so Love is spurned and does not tarry

2024 Rural Dionysia Announcement
Io! The time of the year has come again for the Rural Dionysia!
How to participate
The Rural Dionysia is meant to be a smaller competition than its urban counterpart, as such, we have selected only 3 categories:
Freestyle poetry
Modern hymns
“Complete the fragment”
Freestyle poetry
Your poem can be about any chosen topic (myth, personal experience etc.) in any written format. It doesn't have to be religious in nature.
Modern hymn
An hymn must sing the praises of a deity of your choice. Unlike the "freestyle poetry", your work must be of religious nature to fit in this category.
Complete the Fragment
Each year, we choose a fragment from an Ancient Greek poet to work with. The challenge is that the initial fragment must be included somewhere in your piece in its original order. This means you can fill the gaps however you want, but you can’t switch the order of the words in your piece or remove words from the original fragment.
Here is the fragment selected for this 2024 edition:
Fragment 113 by Alcaeus (trans. David A. Campbell; Loeb 142)
…kiss…(they) began…knowledge…sits…are…mortal
Here is the Greek text for reference. Note that because the word "they" is implied, it will be acceptable to keep or modify this word.
If in doubt for any of these categories, remember that you can check submissions from the previous years to get an idea of how others have done before.
Submitting your piece
Please submit your piece through submissions on this blog. All entries must be tagged for the category they are being submitted to. but you can only choose 1 category per piece and each person may only submit 1 entry per category each year.
Entries must also be tagged for potentially triggering content and squicks. If your entry needs a trigger warning, kindly add them at the end of your submission and we will take care of adding them in. Check the rules below for further information about submissions.
Calendar of the event
Nov. 16: Official announcement and opening of submissions. Dec. 17: Final submission day. Dec. 18: Vote opening. Dec. 25: Vote closing. Dec. 25-26: Announcement of the winners!
No worries though! We will be posting reminders about each step when the time comes.
General rules
Roleplay and fanfic are not acceptable submissions. This is a religious festival, please respect our faith and do not submit an entry if you are roleplaying or writing fanfiction.
Unlike with the City Dionysia, entries do not necessarily have to be about specific deities or Hellenic polytheism except for the “Modern Hymn” category, which has to be dedicated to one or many gods of your choice.
There are no meter restrictions. This is up to the writer.
All stories, myths, and poems must be entered using the submissions button.
All entries must be tagged for the category they are being submitted to. Entries must also be tagged for potentially triggering content and squicks.
An entry may only be submitted to a single category.
Each person may only submit one entry per category each year.
Winners for each category will be decided by popular vote.
Admins of this blog cannot participate, for obvious reasons. As for now, this includes @thegrapeandthefig @verdantlyviolet
Questions about the rules? Check the blog for past answers, your answer might be in there. And if it's not, simply submit an ask. We'll answer in the best delays possible.
Last call + small modification
Due to my work schedule, I will be closing submissions later than intended. If you're living in the Americas, closure will be pushed to Wednesday 18th, early morning. For those of you in Europe, Africa or Asia, it will likely correspond to later in the evening (aka when I can come back from work).

For We Are Only Mortal - By Aön Re of @Hyakinthou-Naos
And who among us knows
How this world came to be
When the budding cosmos ventured out
Into a never ending darkness
Even now, its edge cannot be found
For our universe is endless
-
But who of us can say
How the Gods came into being
Perhaps the sky came down
To gently kiss the earth
Maybe that’s how (it)began
Divinity found through love
Through the most gentle embrace
-
And maybe it was known once
How this world came to be
But knowledge lost to time
In a language no longer spoken
Maybe one day it will return
The story we once knew
But for now it sits among the stars
Waiting for us to find it
-
And who among us knows
How we came to know The Gods
Did they whisper in our sleeping ears
Did they walk into our dreams
Did we find them in the morning dew
In the countless shining stars
Did we used to be like them
Like the endless sea of space
Did we toss away the cosmos
To understand what it’s like
To live - to love
To dream - to die
And are we ready for the answer
Are we ready for the truth
Of who They are
Of who We are
Or is it impossible to know
For we
Are only
Mortal
I was inspired by @two-bees-poetry's work of Penelope and Odysseus for this one
hi sorry about my last ask, you can ignore it (i finally went back and saw the other asks with the same questions and just went on desktop)
No worries! Your submission was well received and I just posted it 😊
hymn to persephone
Kore follows a winding path of somber nymph or waifish fawn, tender loam crushed by crocus and lily and tulip and rose in her frantic step, step, steps sheer linen over flesh and ghostly form dressed to the letter I in innocence, gaiety, springtime, mania. the plot of Lover, wrathful as she, under helm of great shadow. the dark wisps, curling up from dying grass beneath his heavy step, step, steps with cursed chariot, through rotten earth, the King emerges, Agathos Daimon, Lord Adesius, rides to his Queen with a fervor, passion. his chaos-bringer, his Soteira the soft edges on a heavy gavel, vines that crack sturdy stone. the plains of Hell bursting forth, hear the screams of the damned and the chains catching against those that flee the gates. an escape, power, good fortune. for a child of plenty–she has so little.
praise be her name! Persephone– the ripe fruit of chaos– seven seeds she eats, for the love of Death and fear of life above. the chthonius of spring, Empress of the Depths.
Selene's wisdom
Under the pale Moon, The love-pierced titaness with eyes of silver, mortals abound in pairs, wandering whilst the clouds part in a sliver.
Light most gentle filled the eyes, Of a couple young, just two lads. And whilst Mene sang her song, kiss they began, hands gentle as the wind, finding solace in touch, heart aching within.
With the knowledge of prejudice, their love aches and sits quietly, gazing the heavens back, wandering if their affection is unnatural,for words unkind are said, about men who share a bed.
But so and so, gazed the Moon, Selene of saffron horns, with smile resplendant and a ballet of stars in her wake, Her words were the breeze and light most hopeful:
“O little ones, enjoy it all! Share love and be fair. Few can resist Aphrodite’s air. even if life’s unjust, one’s all you got so lads, I say ye - remember you are mortal!”

Minor Hymn to Love (Eros)
Minor Hymn to Love (Eros)
Violet-winged daimon, I summon thee! O most powerful archer, O harbinger of Desire! I pray, come hither, mighty Eros. You are the awe-inducing serpent, bearing joy as weapon. You are the limb-melting spirit, a bittersweet God. You are the pull of Spring, the turning of seasons. Only you pierces all with arrows feverish in blood and honey, Only you drives mortals mad and makes sweet the very breeze. Only you, mighty Eros, brings Heaven and Earth to thy knees.
Accept this prayer and libation, O sweet-talking one. May you bring me happiness and good health with Unreleting, blooming love.
2 Makes 1:
This is a summary of what my therapist and I have been working on with my emotions.
the two sides of mine are named Cedric(Positive thoughts/fun side/emotions) and Hazel(Negative thoughts/the storm)
Hazel is specifically called the storm because when I get a negative thought it triggers a domino and eventually turns into a brainstorm.
(and not the good type)
While Cedric is the fun party guy who always wants to play and dance and do anything other than what I am supposed to do.
(Basically neglect responsibility and frolic in the fields and draw for hours)
I try to balance them.
*Sorry for the lore dump of my brain, just wanted to give context*
