Adorers of Dionysos: Bakchai is a book written by James Morgan Pryse that explores the ancient Greek cult of Dionysus, also known as Bacchus, through the lens of Euripides' play The Bacchae or Bakchai. The book delves into the symbolism and mythology surrounding Dionysus, as well as the rituals and practices of his worshippers. Pryse also examines the psychological and spiritual significance of Dionysian worship, and how it relates to the human experience of ecstasy and transcendence. Overall, Adorers of Dionysos: Bakchai is a comprehensive study of the Bacchic cult and its enduring influence on Western culture.Translated from the Greek of Euripides with an Original Interpretation of the Myth of Kadmos. The Bakchai were the followers of Bakchos, also named Dionysos, the God of Seership and reputed founder of the sacred Mysteries. Those who were initiated in these Mysteries were called Bakchoi, since the initiate was said to become one with his God. Illustrated by J. Augustus Knapp.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
