a certain Promachus. drank three gallons of wine. He won the money. but he died three days later. as did forty-one other" contestants in the competition? .

             All of these excesses belonged, however to the bacchanal or" drunken revelry. During the revelry. emperors and slaves, senators. even ladies now and then. take a nibble of each other along with mountains of foodstuff. Occasionally. somebody stagger"s over to be sick in a marble basin. The orgiastic carousel inevitably progresses in waves of innumerable and unmentionable sexual acts which take place in innumerable and unmentionable ways. Which I will leave for the sexuality presentation.

             Even the dictionary defines orgy as "wild, drunken or licentious festivity or revelry. .any proceedings marked by unbridled indulgence of passions. .deep religious ritual used in the worship of Bacchus. characterized in later times by wild dancing. singing. and drinking.".

             Some three thousand years ago ancient Greek women did celebrate the rites of the god Bacchus with an orqia- orgy. This ritualistic orgy ranged in its ecstatic scope from tearing wild beasts to pieces and eating them raw to nursing young wolf cubs on their" human breasts: from crazed. torchlight processions through the enchanted mountains of Greece to orgasmic and frenzied human sex. As the Greek poet Euripides put it: "Bacchus does not ask for" sexual control from his women.".

             The real staples of the Roman "orgy" were not bodies, alcohol, or sex, but the food, the flowers, wine-and their subtly alluring and mystically sweet flavors and bouquets. Cooking. drinking. and eating the fascinating foods of ancient Rome is what its is all about. So hat else happened at the banquets besides what we see on German Commercials starting at 11pm?.

Once you responded, you were welcomed with the pleasant tradition for" guests to receive garlands of fresh flower"s to adorn their" legs and heads, Some party goers believed that the wine vapor"s would leave them if their" heads were warmed by wreaths.
