Title: The Triumph of Dionysos Convivial processions, from antiquity to the present day
Author: Boardman, John
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9781905739707
Description: Oxford: Archaeopress, 2014. 28cm., pbk., 78pp. illus. Summary: Dionysos carried the blessing of wine to the whole world, and his triumphant return from India became a popular subject for the arts of Greece and Rome in many media. It became associated with Alexander the Great’s comparable victories and later served as a message of immortality for any mortal prince. The iconography survived the ancient world into Renaissance and neo-Classical arts, and may even have contributed to the practices of modern circus parades with their wild animals, maenad-snake-charmers and clown-satyrs: an unusual, indeed unique, survival.
