Table of Contents

Written in Wine is the first volume in Neos Alexandria's Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a collection of collaborative anthologies dedicated to the gods of Greece and Egypt. Written in Wine honors Dionysos, the god of wine, vegetation, religious ecstasy, personal liberation, and the mysteries of life. With almost sixty pieces by over thirty contributors from every segment of the Hellenic polytheist community (as well as individuals who do not identify as such) it is truly exhaustive in its portrayal of the different ways that people understand and relate to this complex and powerful deity today. Within these pages you will find original artwork, poetry, essays, fiction, scholarly translations, personal accounts of experiences with the god and even a couple plays! In their very different ways each of our authors show that Dionysos is alive and still deeply touching our lives today.

Written in Wine can be purchased from our online store by visiting the following link: http://www.createspace.com/3334423
Or you can order it through Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1434836738/

However, if possible, we would ask you to purchase it through our website since that will give the Bibliotheca Alexandrina a higher portion of the royalties without changing the price for you the customer. Why does that matter? Because all of the proceeds from Written in Wine – as well as the other volumes in the Bibliotheca Alexandrina series – will be used to help promote the revival of the worship of the Greek and Egyptian gods, with 25% of the proceeds given to a worthy charitable organization in their name. So, not only will you be getting a wonderful book about the modern worship of Dionysos – but your money will be going to do good work and help the revival of ancient polytheistic religions.

We are rebuilding the Library of Alexandria one book at a time!
