Dionysus - God of Wine

Apr 26, 2021

The god of wine and madness and festivity and more. Often accompanied by a "panther" and carrying a staff with a pine cone.

The traditional vase paintings showed something more like a cheetah as his companion. After some reading I found out that panthers are the same animal as leopards but just with darker fur, thus you can't see their spots. But they say if you see a black panther in person you can still make out their spots in the sunlight.

Alas our furry friend is drunk tonight as the satyrs dance and since in the background.

Let the festivities continue.
