Note 189 — Chapter VI · DIONYSUS THE MAN

See Lewis Richard Farnell, D.Litt., M.A., F.A.S., The Cults of Greece, vol. v., p. 122: “Nor did wine-worship clash at all with the best morality or the hygienic doctrines of the people or the people’s teachers, for drunkenness was never a serious social evil for Hellas, nor did the philosophers preach against intemperance as a national danger; nor again were the modern appliances known whereby wine has become a thing vile and corrupt.”
