Bacchus was the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine. 


The state and ritual of madness and ecstasy in Greek mythology, was also attributed to this god called Bacchus. 


From the god of wine called Bacchus, (who was half human and half goat) came forth a celebration known as Bacchanal or Bacchanalia.


The mixing and making of strong Alcohol and intoxicating wine was done in honor of this god called “Bacchus”.

To much drinking of alcohol was practiced for the sake of taking the people out of their normal mental state, so that they may become like wild animals; daring to express their wild sexual desires and immoral behaviors.

Dionysian practice of orgy allowed the Bacchant (bacchus god of wild behavior)“ to emerge forth from the ‘self-ego‘ of human behavior, and after that; he was to be united with the god in the ecstatic exaltation of omophagia, dancing and wine.


This kind of bodily mysticism and psychosomatic liberation had only temporary effects each time — the period of the ekstasis or orgy took place.


The industry of entertainment influenced by the act of alcohol drinking:
The influence of artistes, film actors, musicians getting high on drugs or geting drunk before they are able to express their artistic abilities, act or go on stage, that trait originates from Bacchus the god of drunkenness.
