Bacchus is a Roman god (also known as Dionysus in Greek lore) primarily associated with wine, agriculture, and fertility. He was also the patron of the arts and the protector of the theater. His festivals, the Bacchanalia, were celebrated with great enthusiasm and often involved wild revelry. From ancient sculptures & mosaics to Renaissance paintings & modern poetry, his image and myth have inspired countless creative works.
