18+ AimeeMaroux, It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
Dionysos Liknites, “Dionysos of the Winnowing-fan” is an epithet of #Dionysos because at birth he is said to have been laid on a winnowing-fan. Placing newborn children in winnowing-fans is “an omen of wealth and fruitfulness”.
Hermes, too, was "laid in swaddling-bands on the winnowing fan".🏛️ Terracotta relief of a dancing #Maenad and #Satyr with baby #Bacchus (Dionysos)
