Within modern frameworks of knowledge and representation, Dionysos often appears to be atypical for ancient culture, an exception within the context of ancient polytheism, or even an instance of a difference that anticipates modernism. How can recent research contribute to a more precise understanding of the diverse transformations of the ancient god, from Greek antiquity to the Roman Empire ? In this volume, which is the result of an international conference held in March 2009 at the Pergamon Musem Berlin, scholars from all branches of classical studies, including history of scholarship, consider this question. Consequently, this leads to a new look on vase paintings, sanctuaries, rituals and religious-political institutions like theatre, and includes new readings of the texts of ancient poets, historians and philosophers, as well as of papyri and inscriptions. It is the diversity of sources or methods and the challenge of former views thet is the strength of this volume, providing a comprehensive, innovative and richly faceted account of the "different" god in an unprecedented way.

Renate Schlesier explores the ancient Greek symposion, a social institution centered around communal drinking, through lectures delivered at the Munich Center for Ancient Worlds. The book discusses the role of Dionysos and Aphrodite, gender dynamics, and cultural experiments within symposia. It draws on textual and visual evidence from the 8th to 6th centuries BCE. Schlesier examines the symposion as a cultural phenomenon, influenced by earlier and contemporary scholarship, to provide insights into ancient Greek social and religious practices. The book is intended for scholars and students in classical studies, archaeology, and history.
