Have a joyful #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
"Proklos attributed aesthetic qualities of the dithyramb and nome to the characters of the gods addressed: orgiastic melody, words and rhythms for Dionysos, dignity for Apollon."
Greek Hymns: Selected Cult Songs from the Archaic to the Hellenistic Period by William Furley, 2021

Silver disk showing Dionysos sitting, holding his thyrsus, with Apollo Citharoedus (Apollo the kithara player) beside him in a biga chariot drawn by a female panther and a goat on which sits Silenos playing the double flute. A biga is a chariot drawn by two animals. The female panther has large, visible teats, illustrating Dionysos' fertility powers.
