obtained from the distillation of a fermented agave plant, Agave tequilana, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, Mexico (25,26). The location of agave production is illustrated in figure 1. Historically, the Aztec people learned that cooked agave, when soaked in water, fermented to produce an enjoyable beverage (5). It was not until the arrival of the Spaniards—who brought knowledge of distillation techniques—that the Aztec people’s fermented agave juice took the form of today’s tequila
from the same story. The peppery-tasting tequila has a rich history, reaching as far back in time to Aztec culture, being birthed during Spanish conquest in Mexico. From that, a traditional process of cooking, fermentation, and distillation of the agave plant has evolved into a drink that is even used for one of the most widely ordered drink in America, the margarita. Tequila’s deep set history left a lot of room for myths, and even improvements in health benefits. Tequila is a fun, beneficial, and
control over Pentheus and his all his actions. He humiliates Pentheus by dressing him in women's dress and parading him throughout Thebes. Dionysus then leads him up to Mount Cithaeron where he is caught spying on the Bacchae by his crazed mother, Agave. She proceeds to tear him to shreds with her bare hands. This is the end for Pentheus, and ultimately, due to his constant ignorance, a just death. Although the punishment may seem rather harsh, the audience is appeased by Pentheus' death. Pentheus
However, this is not the case for Agave, mother of Pentheus. In “Bacchae,” Agave is so caught up on a curse brought upon her by her nephew Dionysus that she completely loses sight of what is truly important, her son. In the end Agave ends up chopping the head off her own son, a twist to the everyday myth. In “Demeter and Persephone,” although Persephone is a female, it seems as though Demeter cares and protects her daughter more than Agave ever did for her "male" child. Agave doesn't even talk about her

example, the chorus, or the Bacchantes, who are worshippers of Dionysus by their own volition. They cause Pentheus much discomfort at the beginning of the play, as these women are powerful and independent and pose a threat to his ideal moral code. Agave and her sisters, although driven mad by Dionysus, defeat Pentheus, the male king who is the epitome of male power in Athens. The women that Dionysus has “worked into a frenzy and driven from their homes to roam the hills, out of their minds” (Euripides
antistrophe is a credo of the chorus - Dominant metre is dochmiac (short long long short long), a metre associated with intense excitement - Strophe and antistrophe can be described in four movements: move within A from Pentheus to the vision of Agave, and within her from Pentheus to the vision of the chorus; correspondences are mimetically precise 1. Lines 1-5 Strophe evokes the hounds of Madness running to the Bacchants in the mountain and biting Pentheus; Pentheus in female garb starts

In it, we see Agave living an intuitive life celebrating nature and worshipping Dionysus; conversely, we see Pentheus resisting his instincts in his quest for order and logic. In this quest, Pentheus renounces Dionysus and everything the god represents, including living
Suffering” as Aristotle would have called it. However what makes this nearly painful to read is the scene of recognition when Cadmus has to get Agave out of Dionysus’ trance to that she may see what became of her son. When, as Aristotle would say, the unravelling or the “denouement” arrives, the reader is forced to sit back and wait for the horrifying moment when Agave realises what she has done, which causes horror, followed by suspense, and finally ending with pity as the woman unrightfully was cast away
rationality. He becomes infatuated with apprehending Dionysus, but suffers a horrible death when Dionysus manipulates him into dressing up as a woman and retrieving the maenads from the wild and bring them back to civilization. This leads to his own mother, Agave, and the rest of the savage women of the mountains to tear him apart limb from limb. Dionysus watches his violent punishment play out and witnesses the once proud Pentheus become a
The 1926 image Pulqueria by Edward Weston, exhibits the dynamic between two men, a tavern front and its mural (fig. 1). This photograph of an everyday scene in the streets of Mexico City contains a substantial revelation of social injustices happening during Weston’s second stay in Mexico from the years 1925 – 1926. Weston’s composition subtly voices social injustices through the framework and subject to effectively unveil how the Mexican government disregarded its indigenous people because of the
rituals and culture of Dionysus’s cult which enacts their rebellion against men and the laws of their community. However, this motion to go aginst feminine norms is short lived as they lose power. When Agave comes to her epiphany, Dionysus is the one who is triumphant over Pentheus's death, not Agave or her sisters These women must be punished for their rebellion against both men and community. This female power is weakened and the rebellion muted in order to bring back social order and also to provide
The Significance of Animal Symbolism and its Effect on Gender Role Throughout many ancient Greek texts, there are aspects of nature playing important roles in the main plot. Sometimes they assist the thesis through a metaphor or simile which better visualizes the author's true meaning. Lions have many different personality traits which make them extremely diverse creatures. This also promotes various applications to characters in literary works. In two works, the Oresteia by Aeschylus and Euripides'
Dionysus’ desire to forcefully correct those who are ignorant of his reputation as a god and force their respect through fear and violence. This is further proven when he succeeds in his plan, by driving Agave to conduct sparagmos on her own son, and becomes distraught at losing their son. Although Agave is Dionysus’ follower, he gives her no mercy as Pentheus is her son and she must be punished as well. As Cadmus begs for mercy, Dionysus refuses to listen to his pleas and insists upon punishment. He

Agave comes out of her trance to realize that Dionysus caused her to kill her son and spit his head on a stake as she come back into the city triumphantly.

There is a sense of lost, a need to retrieve the women, and return them to their place. “Our women run wild” creates the comparison of what their women would do amongst men and their society, as well as a sense of possession of the women (217). Agave recognizes the freedom from her daily confinements of her home when amongst the Bacchantes: “I quit my shuttle at the loom / for a higher calling, the hunting of wild beasts / with my bare hands” (1214-1218).

One of the most well-known pieces of Greek tragedy is Euripides’s The Bacchae, a tale which chronicles the life and ultimate revenge that the Greek god Dionysus would take out upon his mortal family. Through this tale Dionysus can be viewed in multiple lights. He varied his appearance from that of a great leader, to that of a master of the great art of manipulation. With that said, no image was grander than how he showed that the great Greek gods are not known for being forgiving creatures. Dionysus
