One Dionysos, now and forever!
You are great, O Successor of Zeus,
and greatly to be praised. It is joy
to worship you; thrice-joyous to become drunk
on your miraculous wine. Our heart is restless
until it rests in you, Savior of men upon the Earth,
Guide and goal of the souls who walk the labyrinth-like
path through the Underworld to Mount Nysa,
where your wild ones abide with you forever.
By what margin does Big D predate Ye Olde Jeebus?
There seems to be a movement to monotheise Dionysus. I can see it, but not sure i like it.
