Presented by Daniel Anderson, J.D.
Dionysos, the Greek god of wine, ecstasy, license, and theater has long captivated the Western imagination. From romantic artistic portrayals of Dionysos as the jolly god of wine and pleasure, to his destructive appeal for Nietzsche, to his invocation in the 1960s counter-cultural revolution, Dionysos has survived on the margins of a society dominated by Christian values. This lecture will explore the historical and psychological aspects of this archetypal figure and his relevance to contemporary life.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the role of Dionysos from an historical perspective
- Describe the archetypal aspect of Dionysos
- Give an example of how this archetype functions in contemporary life
