Performance storytelling by Amelia Ace Armande
Dionysus thrice-born.
Dionysus girl-child.

Dionysus is charged with the task of bringing joy to a world ravaged by the floods of Zeus. Their cult spreads, bringing all the world the Good News of Dionysus's gift of wine, and people flock to join Bacchic revels in the mountain glades. But when joy overflows the bounds of sanity and all is permitted, how far will Dionysus go to claim their place as a true God of Olympus?
