Synopsis

The first in a planned series, this is the biography of the strangely powerful wine-god Bacchus - seducer, magician and merrymaker. Sprung at birth from the thigh of Zeus, he is best remembered for his gift of wine to humanity. With it he brought both pleasure and the savagery of Bacchic frenzy.
