Dionysios is the greek god for among other things, wine. He's been divinised for bringing wine to greece. It was invented in the northern caucasus 6 thousand years ago. If you ever read any classical literature or antique philosophy, you'll have a reference for how wine was consumed in the antiquity. And if you want to see how much the antiques lived, see Diogenes Laerteos.
- eevilspock 10y agoMost literature until modern times was written by, about and for the wealthy. Diogenes Laertius was no where near a common person. Nor was any philosopher for that matter. I'm kind of shocked that you consider antique philosophy a window into how the vast majority of people lived in the past. Again, show me the data.
