Dionysus was born from the leg of Zeus

The city of Thebes grew from the teeth of a serpent that Cadmus killed and then planted.

Unfortunately all of these daughters turned out bad.

Invasion aka rape – this term is used a lot when talking about the gods

Liberal – freedom – to be freed from the constriction of the society or even your life

The moment of your greatest horrors of life are rescued by art

Metaphor – to carry over – to be carried away – imagination

A movie that resembles Bacchae is
