Hail to thee, great Bacchus!!! God of Wine and Mirth


all hail the mighty bacchus, bringer of the harvest of the grape, harbinger of plenty and excess. hail bacchus, lover of beautiful women, and fine food, bacchus, provider of drunken merriment and abandonment, bacchus, epicurean saint of pleasure and sensuality.
to thee fair bacchus, i dedicate this next bottle of fine red, with a plastic cork, aged one whole year. sweet fat bacchus, i will share a roasted swine in my dreams oh cherished god of chablis and cabernet.

3. why bother dressing up?
especially when the kids are boozing it up and pissing on dinner and the old ladie's boob is hanging out like janet jackson's. and uncle sid is drinking port right out of the jug like a pig. who even care's about fashion after several flagons of burgundy?

2. he isn't described as fat in the mythology
he's a handsome strong slim guy w/ a purple cloak. What gives with them portraying him as fat?

8. My name means "follower of Dionysus"

:D


edit: That has got to be the ugliest Bacchus/Dionysus I've ever seen. Wonder if Reubens modeled him after a patron?
