where Dionysos dwells

a devotional image blog, dedicated to finding Dionysos wherever He may be. (Due to Tumblr's updated restrictions as of late 2018, this blog must become SFW; sadly, this sudden change also cost this project a large number of existing posts.)

New niche. Tiny Holy of Holies.

Reorganizing all the shrines.

The Satyroi and the Dionysian coterie get their own space now amidst the wine bottles; therefore, Big D gets this shelf to Themself.

ἥκω Διὸς παῖς τήνδε Θηβαίων χθόνα Διόνυσος, ὃν τίκτει ποθ᾽ ἡ Κάδμου κόρη Σεμέλη λοχευθεῖσ᾽ ἀστραπηφόρῳ πυρί

"I have come, the child of Zeus, to this land of Thebes. I, Dionysus, whom Semele the daughter of Cadmus once bore, brought forth by the fire of lightning."

My version of Dionysus taking a lil nap

[starweaverblog]

Lord Dionysus has inflicted such brutal terror on our house. Yes. For at your hands I suffered, too— and dreadfully. For here in Thebes my name received no recognition.
