loser's Reviews > Dionysus: Myth and Cult

It wasn’t the most ripping page turner, but extremely enticing nonetheless. Otto strips away everything we think we know about Dionysus (sensuality and androgyny) and reveals to us a theophany of a fascinating god— the spirit of a wild and savage being; a maddening ecstasy which intercedes the schisms of life and death. A monstrous divinity. A primitive mysticism.
