Sparagmos lang grc refers to an ancient Dionysian ritual in which a living animal, or sometimes even a human being, would be Animal sacrifice sacrificed by being dismembered, by the tearing apart of limbs from the body. Sparagmos was frequently followed by omophagia the eating of the raw flesh of the one dismembered . It is associated with the Maenad s or Bacchantes, followers of Dionysus , and the Dionysian Mysteries . Examples of sparagmos appear in Euripides s play The Bacchae , which concerns Dionysus and the Maenads. At one point guards sent to control the Maenads witness them pulling a live bull to pieces with their hands. Later, Dionysus lures his cousin, king Pentheus , into a forest after he bans worship of the god where he was attacked by Maenads, including his own mother Agave mythology Agave . The reference of his mother tearing apart his limbs is sparagmos. Similarly, Medea is said to have killed and dismembered Absyrtus her brother whilst fleeing with Jason and the stolen Golden Fleece fleece in order to delay their pursuers who would be forced to collect the remains of the prince . The Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini staged a sparagmos ritual as part of a long sequence near the beginning of his film Medea film Medea 1969 , before dramatising the episode in which Medea kills her brother in a similar way. In Tennessee Williams s play Suddenly, Last Summer , Sebastian Venable is killed in an episode of sparagmos and omophagia . According to some myths, Orpheus notably met this fate at the hands of the Thracian women. Interpreting the ritual through the lens of the Sigmund Freud Freudian Oedipus complex , Catherine Maxwell identifies sparagmos as a form of castration , particularly in the case of Orpheus. ref Catherine Maxwell, The Female Sublime from Milton to Swinburne Bearing Blindness , Manchester University Press, 2001, p. 17 ref See also Tragedy Cambridge Ritualists Life death rebirth deity References reflist Category Ancient Gre ... more details

In the Delphi c tradition, Thyia was also the naiad of a spring on Mount Parnassos in Phocis central Greece , daughter of the river god Cephissus Boeotia Cephissus . Her shrine was the site for the gathering of the maenad Thyiades women who celebrated in the orgies of the god Dionysos . She was said to have been the first to sacrifice to Dionysus, and to celebrate orgies in his honour. Hence, the Attica Attic women, who every year went to Mount Parnassus to celebrate the Dionysiac orgies with the Delphian Thyiades, received themselves the name of Thyades or Thyiades. She was said to have been loved by Apollo and bore him Delphus Delphos , the eponymous founder of town Delphi , beside the oracular shrine. She was also closely associated with the prophetic Castalian Spring , from which she was sometimes said to have been born. Thyia was also related to Castalia , the nymph of the spring Melaena, an alternative mother for Delphos and the Corycian nymphs , naiades of the springs of the holy Corycian Cave . Thyia was a name derived from the Ancient Greek verb lang el meaning perfume or sacrifice . The name was applied to a type of fragrant tree called a Thuja .
