Bacchus-Dionysus-Pan: Difference between revisions

In Roman mythology [[Bacchus]] is considered the god of agriculture, wine and fertility, and further associated with orgiastic indulgences brough on by drunken revelry, seeking ecstatic experiences and theatrical displays, often depicted with male-on-male lovers. Although in [[Bacchanalia]] festival settings anything goes, hence expression could be considered pan-sexual rather than homosexual. The Greek God [[Dionysus]] is the equivalent of [[Bacchus]], essentially this is referencing the same God. Pan is the ancient Greek God of untamed nature including forests, mountains and pastures, appearing with a goat’s lower body and a human upper body, including horns and tail. The Roman equivalent of [[Pan]] is known as [[Faunas]].
