Publisher's Synopsis
""The Worship of Bacchus: A Great Delusion"" is a book written by Ebenezer Clarke in 1876. The book explores the history and mythology surrounding the ancient Greek god of wine and revelry, Bacchus. Clarke argues that the worship of Bacchus, and the associated practices of drinking and revelry, are a great delusion that has led to moral decay and social unrest throughout history. He examines the origins of the Bacchic cult, the rituals and practices associated with it, and the impact it has had on society. Clarke also discusses the role of Bacchus in literature and art, and the influence of the Bacchic cult on modern society. Overall, ""The Worship of Bacchus: A Great Delusion"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the dangers of excess and the importance of temperance in human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
