Personal Narrative: Greek Mythology

On my most recent trip to Greece, I found myself at a museum that featured items of ancient history. As I wandered around the building, I found a section dedicated to Greek “Mythology”. I laughed my head off when I saw a hilarious depiction of Hades and came upon a mosaic of someone remarkably familiar. A glimpse of myself from the glass of the showcase and I realized that that person was me. I am Dionysus, god of viticulture, madness, and pleasure. After carefully examining the mosaic for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that it is a pretty good representation of me. The panther I am riding on looks awfully like one I grew up with on Mount Nysa and it is also one of my symbols. The animal itself looks like it is ready to move and go somewhere.
As for me, I look pretty fine with a nice pale, white body displayed. Since I do not have any clothes on, I, therefore, can not be seen wearing purple robes or a toga. However, something that angered me a little was that the mosaic had no sign of wine, grapes, or anything related to those items. The mosaic made up for it since the thyrsus I am holding looked pretty close to the one that I was actually holding in my hands right now. Just, maybe some ivy vines wrapping around the staff instead. Upon my head is what I believe and hope is a wreath of ivy as it is something that I wear pretty commonly. That is also probably why so many mortals are staring at me funny right now. Beneath the wreath, it is hard to tell if I have hair or not, but I think there is because there are bits of yellow behind my back and neck. Together, my head and the panther’s facing forwards make us look like we are looking at someone or somewhere. The green background I do like as green is the color of ivy and leaves. As a whole, the illustration is pretty nice and I must admit, the mortals who made this must have had nice taste. Thank goodness I can leave this museum today without having a headache or being angry at the way I am represented to the mortal world.
