Is this some sort of child abuse?

What a horrible thought. I’d never think something like that. Sorry you do.

Oh! Thanks for the warning. I better not watch it.
Be right back.

That particular initiation was into a wild bunch of drunken libertines, so, y'know, not for everyone, obviously.

I dont mean to offend.
My question is, is what they are doing to that girl abusive? A naked girl? What is a mystery cult? I dont know much about Pompeii
The music accompanying the video is soothing and sweet and I wonder is this actually a good or neutral thing that is happening?
Sometimes when we look at ancient art its old ness sort of numbs us to evil. Perhaps nothing evil is going on here. I am asking.

Bump for a late-night viewing.

There’s often a different set of values in different times. Sex and drinking seems to have been as popular then as they were in the 60’s. If that was the culture of the time, I find it interesting, not awful. But as a tee-totaler, myself, that wouldn’t have been a cult that would have appealed. But I’m as happy to see art of nymphs and satyrs as I am to see art of a glorious horse head. (As someone with a photo of Secretariat in her living room.)

Very nice.
Preparing to go again [as I live in LA] to the Getty Villa for art of Herculenium.

I’ve grown up with ancient art and never had the urge to go cavort because I looked at a picture of a satyr. Must have been my lack of adequate imagination. As for evil, there’s so much good and bad throughout history and current days. French Revolution; Crusades; Spanish Inquisition. All massive yuck. I tend to concentrate on the good. My current idea of evil is any Democrat who is against Trump. My current idea of good is every Republican who supports him.

Major envy. I avoided Herculenium and some of the other wondrous sites so I could concentrate, but here's a glorious pair of horses from Stabiae.

I dont mean to imply that you want to cavort. You are taking my questions the wrong way.

As horrible a tragedy as was Pompeii, the world is lucky to have these mear looks at life two millenia ago.

To: mairdie
A rather staid depiction of the Bacchus/Dionysis cult, especially so given the wild orgiastic frescos of Pompei.
This depiction of Roman adaptation seems almost contemplative as opposed to the documented frenzied Dionysian sexual revels of the Greek Maenads, the Dionysus cult women that tended to the vineyards, harvesting the grapes and prepared the wine. The drunken promiscuous revels resulted in abandoning husbands and children and the social order to such an extent that in locations they became prohibited.
Had some lengthy discussions with a female Jungian therapist about Greek cult. We postulated that there now exists a maenad nation within our culture that is now a perpetual one removed from the seaonal harvest/wine revels of the past... ;>)
