Extrait du document
Roman The name for the Greek god
Dionysus. He was also known as Liber. Dionysian
religion spread across Italy in the second century b.c.,
causing alarm to the Romans. The rites were suppressed
in 186 b.c., but the cult of Bacchus continued
for many years.
Bacchus was portrayed by many artists, including
the Italian painter Caravaggio (1571–1610), who portrayed
him in The Young Bacchus as a sensual youth,
the god of wine and revelry.
Roman Bacchanalia were festivals in honor of
Bacchus, characterized by wild and drunken revelry.
