| Publisher Description: Albert Henrichs' important and wide-ranging work on the Greek god Dionysos is well known to classical philologists and to all those interested in Greek culture and its modern reception. Fifteen fundamental studies of the most fascinating and compelling of Greek gods are reprinted in this third volume of his Collected Papers, together with a comprehensive index making the riches of Henrichs' scholarship more readily accessible. The volume will thus become a basic work of reference. The papers are organised in four groups dealing with the identity and nature of Dionysos; his myths, cults, and iconography; maenads and maenadic ritual; and modern reception and understanding of Dionysos and the Dionysiac. Among the papers included are "Changing Dionysiac Identities," "Myth Visualised: Dionysos and His Circle in Sixth-Century Attic Vase-Painting," "Between Country and City: Cultic Dimensions of Dionysos in Athens and Attica," "Der rasende Gott: Zur Psychologie des Dionysos and des Dionysischen in Mythos und Literatur," "Dionysische Imaginationswelten: Wein, Tanz, Erotik," "Greek Maenadism from Olympias to Messalina," and "Loss of Self, Suffering, Violence: The Modern View of Dionysos from Nietsche to Girard." |
