The True Face of God Dionysus | Ancient Greece Revisited

Could a Nazi scholar have understood the ecstatic god Dionysus better than we have? And if so, how exactly have we misunderstood him?

In this episode of Ancient Greece Revisited we explore the true nature of the Greek God Dionysus by parallelism to a painting by the Greek painter Pavlos Samios, while following the path of Walter Friedrich Otto's book on Dionysus (1933). The God of wine, God of ecstasy, God of Terror ... The Mad God Dionysus!
