Re: Your avatar's story
Mine is, err, well, my vanguard art contest piece, and as most have probably guessed already, the character I hope to play in Vanguard. In hindsight I think I probably shouldn't have submitted what amounts to a self-portrait, but no help for it now.

Re: Your avatar's story
"Dionysus, also commonly known by his Roman name Bacchus, appears to be a god who has two distinct origins. On the one hand, Dionysus was the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature, who is also the patron god of the Greek stage. On the other hand, Dionysus also represents the outstanding features of mystery religions, such as those practiced at Eleusis: ecstasy, personal delivery from the daily world through physical or spiritual intoxication, and initiation into secret rites. Scholars have long suspected that the god known as Dionysus is in fact a fusion of a local Greek nature god, and another more potent god imported rather late in Greek pre-history from Phrygia (the central area of modern day Turkey) or Thrace."
"The supreme god Greek Orphism and said to be a son of Zeus and Persephone. At the instigation of Hera, Zagreus was torn to pieces by the Titans and when they proceeded to devour him Zeus appeared on the scene. Driving the Titans back with thunderbolts he succeeded in saving the heart and gave it, still beating, to Semele to eat. From her and Zeus the divine child Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, was born." © MCMXCV - MMVI Encyclopedia Mythica™. All rights reserved. I just love Dionysus. Especially that part up there about "personal delivery from the daily world through physical or spiritual intoxication" |
