Bloomington / Indianopolis, n.d.(>2000). Paperback. Lower corner a bit foxed and a tiny bit dog's eared.Antiquarian Titel: Dionysus. Myth and Cult. Translated with an Introduction by R.B. Palmer. Auteur: OTTO, W.F.,
'In this classic work, Walter Ottto provides not only an authoritative study of the myth and cult of Dionysus, but also a fascinating vision of religion as such. Rejecting psychological and anthropological approaches. Otto sets out to discover the eternal menaing of 'god who is mad'. The result is nothing less than a theology of Dionysus that challenges classicists and historians of religion to take seriously the reality of the human encounter with the divine.' (DAVID BRAKKE, Indiana University).
