MYTHOLOGICAL INTRODUCTION
TkB mjthology of the Dmmfdmom to MmtMt^ at
bdng the longest and most eUbonite exaaqple we
have of Greek mirths In tbeb final stage of degenereof.
As early as the begimii^g of the Alexandrian age the
traditional stories of the doings of gods and heroes
had ceased, save perhaps as allegories , to eooi-
mand Denei awioiy ed oeated people, the ou^ daas
for whom the Alexandrian authors wrote. Thera
remained tberenre siiwplj tonr ntenuy valoe as
pietareaqae tales. As the tendeney of the age, hoth
in literature and art, was on the whole towards
realism, the mjths were so handled as to make
the actors In them thoroughly, often nndtenlliedly
human. Thus, In the Argmwmfkm of Apowoios of
Rhodes,* when Heni and Athena call on Aphrodite
to he^ them, we have no conference of goddames hot
a hamoroas sketch of great kidies, eunsUained to
recognise the existence of and even he deferential to
a woman neither sodaOy nor morally their eqnal,
who for her part to dehglitcd and a little maUckras at
the thought of getting a footing In such respectable
society. Besides thto, another tendency KmI long
been at work. The old and famlUar stories, however
re-handled, were too well known, and the poets, ever
on the lookout for anything which savoured of origin-

new cuhs had long ago wrested horn his rellgioii Its
old place in popular favour, and the stories abmrt him
had been contaminated on the one hand with the too
hunuin roniantic interest already touched upon, on
the other with a curious political development.
Dion^rsos, who as earlj as Eoripidcs' day was thought
of as a great conqueror (he came finom the East, he
had esUblished himself faifiMe of oppoiitkm in IMbt;
therefore it was natural to assume thai he had eoe-
quered the Eastern peoples) was a ml iailatad to
human conqueror, Aleiander, and the
of that great statesman andjvarrior took nom otme
early days soenethiiy of a Dionysiae wUdi
grew more pttmouneed as time went on. Hi
the conquerfog Dionvsos tended to
Alexander. The result of this, to one Ibr whom
Alexander was a dim and legendary flfure of the
long distant past, was that Dionysos deireloped into
the sort of world-conqueror likely to be ImaglDed bgr
a mind wholly aUen to the least notion orpolllieal
motives, a person who Ibr no particular reeeon goes
about subauing nation after nation in h^ge and
bk>ody battles, in whieh his petioiial pniwem (this
was a remnant of the genuine epic tradition, the fruit
of days in which tactics were in their infancy, armies
small, and the strength and valour of one
jnan often of real importance) Is a deeWve
The other tales had degenerated into accounts of how
the god made people nuul, drunk or both, and seduced

women, poor survi vab of the Dionysos of older, less
sophisticated and at the same time more understand-

fear ; nothing but unbelieving contempt can be
