Dionysian Wine: An Examination of Wine and Identity in Ancient Greece

Dionysus is a god of various domains—theatrical, chthonic, maniacal. Most commonly, he is identified as the God of Wine. Wine itself performed a variety of functions in ancient Greek life as a ritual substance, medicine, and drink. How can these variable ideas concerning Dionysus and wine be reconciled? There has been much disparate scholarship on the worship of Dionysus. Attention has also been paid to wine’s use as a mediator of identity both in expression by the individual and recognition by others. However, rarely have all these aspects been put in conversation with each other, contextualizing them. In compiling and comparing these various sources, using description and examples of the sacred and profane functions of wine, I hope to generate a new and holistic representation of Dionysus and the use of wine as a ritual substance. The discussion clarifies ancient Greek ideas of identity—ethnic, regional, and gender—and physiology—medicine, drunkenness, madness. It also consolidates previous research done by disparate scholars and offers original interpretations of texts and objects. The resulting work synthesizes the functions and meanings of Dionysian wine.
