Διόνυσος: I begin to sing of ivy-crowned Dionysus, the loud-crying god, splendid son of Zeus and glorious Semele. The rich-haired Nymphs received him in their bosoms from the lord his father and fostered and nurtured him carefully in the dells of Nysa, where by the will of his father he grew up in a sweet-smelling cave, being reckoned among the immortals. But when the goddesses had brought him up, a god oft hymned, then began he to wander continually through the woody coombes, thickly wreathed with ivy and laurel. And the Nymphs followed in his train with him for their leader; and the boundless forest was filled with their outcry. And so hail to you, Dionysus, god of abundant clusters! Grant that we may come again rejoicing to this season, and from that season onwards for many a year. / —Homeric Hymn to Dionysos.26.1–10 More Olympians / / / /

This old wine hut is located along the road to Pykes Creek in western Victoria. Not sure of the history behind it but an interesting old building none the less.

Location: Baalbeck, Lebanon / Baalbeck, Lebanon’s greatest Roman treasure, can be counted among the wonders of the ancient world. The largest and most noble Roman temples ever built, they are also among the best preserved. Towering high above the Beqaa plain, their monumental proportions proclaimed the power and wealth of Imperial Rome. The gods worshipped here, the Triad of Jupiter, Venus and Mercury, were grafted onto the indigenous deities of Hadad, Atargatis and a young male god of fertility. Local influences are also seen in the planning and layout of the temples, which vary from the classic Roman design. / READ MORE: / http://www.middleeast.com/baalbeck.htm

As a good writer should, I’m letting these photos describe the antics of the word smiths on the weekend just passed with words, games and alcohol. ...and while I took a whole lot of shots that should be about enough for now, at least while I work out which ones are still to come. And I have to say a massive thank you to Bellmusker who, with her stunning red hair organised a wonderful weekend. As well as this a big thank you and congratulations to Anne who ran the workshop, launched a book helped all out around the town of Bacchus Marsh.

Satyr
by Al BourassaTaken in the Louvre Museum, Paris, France Feb 25/09 / In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast; they usually have a goat’s tail, flanks and hooves. While the upper part of the body is that of a human, they also have the horns of a goat. They are the companions of Dionysus, (Bacchus) the god of wine, and they spent their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs. The Italian version of the satyr is the faun, while the Slavic version is the Ljeschi.
