don't tempt me with a good time

[@Bildgesmythe]

Sounds like fun, but I'll comment anyway!

[@anglerfish4161]

A family inheritance, religious intrigue, crime and investigation, conspiracy and moralism... Now I know where we Latin Americans get our love for novellas. Joking aside, what strikes me about this is how it shows the Roman love of legal proceedings. Not even a secret sex cult can keep them from turning the story into Law&Order: Bacchic Victims Unit.

[@victoriawright973]

There was murder/sacrifice involved!

[@davidlaszloconhaim1013]

What a coincidence this was posted in March. My novel, Memoirs of Spurius, was just published and may be the only novel about the Bacchic Conspiracy. Excited this story is finally reaching the public, Dan. --D. Laszlo Conhaim

[@Cholatemilk1]

I love conspiracies Dan you're really speaking my language now

[@WildMen4444]

A video about the Bacchanalia scandal on the first day of Anthesteria? You've got a sense of humor!

[@JuanAlvarez-jy1ku]

Found this randomly after being deep in many cups. Was well pleased. Consider myself a natural priest in the Dionysian Rites.

[@bellezavudd]

The wine must have inflamed my mind. I heard "the BACKACHE conspiracy."
🤣
Anyway, I'm thoroughly enjoying your reading of this ancient conspiracy.

[@Claude_the_Reaper]

Wine, a weekly congregation, a threat to rome. You have no idea how enigmatic that text is.
I'm keeping this as an all time favorite

[@sethen132]

No country has a pristine history.

[@jcorey333]

This was super interesting! I clicked on it randomly and I'm glad I did. The world is so different and yet not so very.

[@Bildgesmythe]

I can't thank you enough for this channel!

[@TheModernHermeticist]

Thank you for listening

Party poopers. 😆

[@darkhorseman8263]

Sounds like Modern Day Politics.

[@Jason-ms8bv]

It seams the 'Satanic Panic' is nothing new!

[@tangentreverent4821]

On the one hand, it sounds like just one more moral panic among many. On the other hand, the starting as rites for women and then becoming corrupt has similarity to the history of the incels.

[@jmiller1918]

Gripping tale of the rooting out of incipient decadence and pernicious foreign influence. Read with strong moral fortitude, I felt like the case was being made in the most forceful and convincing way! More compelling than any Netflix series, and more edifying into the bargain. Based and women-in-chains-pilled.

[@shanesullivan460]

Ohh, a VERY old and xenophobic moral panic.
