The sparagmòs (in ancient Greek: σπαραγμός) is a particularly violent rite inserted in the context of Dionysics mysteries, whose details are described in detail in the Euripides Baccanti tragedy. Describe the wikitesto modification
This is the practice of barking wild animals, both wild and domestic (usually cows or sheep), or rarely a human being, in order to eat raw beef. It was therefore a sacrifice in honor of the god Dionysus, and a way to celebrate the power of the gods of the earth. Inhaling the victim's fresh blood, the Menade or the beginnings of Dionysic mysteries reappeared in the primordial spirit of Mother Earth.
Historians in fact link Dionysian mysteries to Cretan potions. Notemodify wikitesto Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
