      cool name. riotous dancer in the meadow and a call to dance! :weee:

      “The most famous mention of Iacchus is in the Frogs of Aristophanes, where the Mystae invoke him as a riotous dancer in the meadow, attended by the Charities, who ‘tosses torches’ and is likened to a star bringing light to the darkness of the rites (Harrison, p. 540).”

      “The word Iacchos also signified the ritual cry (“Iacchus, O Iacchus!”) that accompanied the festival. In Euripedes’ The Bacchae, according to the translation by Philip Vellacott, the Bacchants call to dance, crying out in unison on the son of Zeus, “Iacchus! Bromius!”.
