Abstract
The Tbilisi Hymn to Dionysus offers an unusual glimpse into Greek religion in the making. The text, written in the third century CE, is the first draft of a cult song, whose content indicates its clear connection to a mystery cult. Thus, it is tempting to call it a hieros logos of Dionysian initiation, a late cousin or offspring of the religious literature that flourished in Egypt under the rule of Ptolemy Philopator. This paper contains three notes regarding the mythical and theological content of the hymn, as well as its performative context.
期刊介绍：
Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
