Professor Bettany Hughes investigates the story of Bacchus, god of wine, revelry, theatre and excess, travelling to Georgia, Jordan, Greece and Britain to discover his origins and his presence in the modern world, and explore how 'losing oneself' plays a vital role in the development of civilisation In this fascinating journey, Bettany begins in Georgia where she discovers evidence of the world's oldest wine production, and the role it may have played in building communities. In Athens she reveals Bacchus's pivotal role in a society where his ecstatic worship was embraced by all classes, and most importantly women. On Cyprus she uncovers startling parallels between Bacchus and Christ. Finally, Bettany follows the god's modern embrace in Nietzsche's philosophy, experimental theatre and the hedonistic hippie movement to conclude that, while this god of ecstasy is worthy of contemporary reconsideration, it is vital to heed the warning of the ancients - "MEDEN AGAN" - nothing in excess.谍战迷完整版百度云在线观看为广大影视爱好者提供在线观看免费观看高清完整版大众影视,在线播放超清又名最新热门电影大片免费高清播放就上综艺节目排行榜,动漫动画片,最新影视资讯。正版高清电视剧,热门电视剧,高分电视剧,最新电影等好看的谍战迷,是影视爱好者们最好的选择!五杀影院包括了
