Tracklist: Ι: Mythistorical Chapter 01. 00:00 "Praelūdium" (Parodos): Νυκτωδία 02. 06:17 ...Of Mistress Earth And Zagreus By Βάκχες and Maenades, in Dadaforios month by the mystic sacrifice of the five prophets... The winter has come in all its forms, the oracles are thus revoked. Maenadic Dance – the singing of dithyramb. The spring of orgies / withering of nature Τριετηρίς litany - Ennaeteric ritual, nocturnal mounting - the dancing of Nereids. The ecstatic Apollonian Prophecy of Πυθία. The arrival of Liknitis and Ένθεη Μανία. Under the Thessalian cult of Δελφική Αμφικτιονία. In Parnassus, Bacchus awakes again… …of Mistress Earth and Zagreus…. 03. 11:30 The God Of Mount Nysa Conception of a divine seduction, carried in a mortal woman’s womb, born immortal, by the glorious God’s thigh, tore into shreds – by the Titans devoured. Then brought back to life – Eternally reborn, transformed into an infant goat. Presented to the Heliconian Mount Nysa, to be raised by Silenus, Bacchae,Ὑάδαι, Coronis, Νῦσα. The recall of chaos – where the powers of renewal dwell. An archetypal symbol of ‘ritual madness’ and ‘ecstasy’ per se. Unique spirit and character – Master of delight, Infinitely devoted to the delirium of mind. Ruler of all instincts and all apocryphal desires. The Apollonian magnetic period of pause. The prospect of a new creation, invisible and subterranean, as if the zymosis of wine. The utmost phase of Dionysian mania: o σπαραγμός κι’ η ὠμοφαγία. 04. 18:34 Diarchy - United As One The inner sun of mystics, the cosmic soul of defiance to the rational / a being in human life form – the Apollonian self-reflection. The quest of Ὀρφεύς for His beloved fateful lover – in Hades. Nymphs and Tartaros wept by His sad and mournful songs... Her figure and her body rest in the underworld. First time in mythistory an agreement to return to earth(!); but Eurydice is vanished, this time, forever. Entwined with the magical arts, with the worship of empress’s Hecate sect and the Sol Invictus cults, …Awaiting… for the nightfall …Awaiting… for the arise of Nyktelius. In the sanctuary of the Oracle of Delphi. The assembly of 2 Godly-Brothers, ὦ Φλεῦ και Βακχεῦ, Διγενή, Μουσ-ηγέτη και Πυριγενή divided Diarchy – United as One(!). II: Philosophical Chapter 05. 23:19 Villa Dei Papiri (The Philosophical Library) Ages before christianity, Pisos’ dynasty, Philodemus and his followers gathered at Ercolano, where they founded: the Philosophical Library. After two thousand years of ‘how-to-know’. A library of thousands of papyrus’ rolls, each one of them – 15 meters long, ruined by pyroclastic flow – Vesuvian eruption. VILLA DEI PAPIRI VILLA DEI PAPIRI …In the year 1751 they were recovered from lava and tephra under a cloud of volcanic ash, as fragments made of anthrax. Searches upon researches to decode the carbonized writings, the wise ancient texts were thrown again into the abyss. An attempt to rebuild them, by crooks and naïves. Their achievement: Woe(!) the loss of authentic Epicurean scripts. VILLA DEI PAPIRI VILLA DEI PAPIRI Great gifts of insight and of forming character’s strengths, offered to kings and to partisans, the rest still remain in ‘blindness’. Science will enlighten mankind once more, as soon as hypocrites reveal this script material to us all! 06. 28:01 Kyriai Doxai (Part Ι - The TetraFarmakos Epitome) i. “Ἄφοβον ὁ θεός ii. ἀνύποπτον ὁ θάνατος iii. καὶ τἀγαθὸν μὲν εὔκτητον, iv. τὸ δὲ δεινὸν εὐκαρτέρητον” Gods – hypothetical beings in an everlasting state of bliss. In the consciousness of men – falsely n’ deeply marked fearsome entities, yet again, mere role replicas for mortality, their absence – the absolute ‘Consolatio’ from the “state of ΄anguish΄”. i. Ἄφοβον ὁ θεός ii. ἀνύποπτον ὁ θάνατος iii. καὶ τἀγαθὸν μὲν εὔκτητον, iv. τὸ δὲ δεινὸν εὐκαρτέρητον Dread of Death, the greatest agony of all, an obstacle to joy, the reflection of delusional post-mortem judgement and survival in eternity. Greed, lust and envy – became vital needs. Their non-fulfillment – a chain of misery. Chimerical desires are meant to be obsolete. “Timendi causa est nescire”. 07. 34:50 Transmogri(e)fication …Alas! Fire, and gallows upon: men, stoning, reasoning, laws and future gnosis. A posteriori, tamen obiter, a priori The ancient Principal Era, is by now in total reverse. Distorted then, even prior to the authentic findings … eventually, ended up to a complete masquerade itself. Philosophy, Consensus, and Science, in lethargy. Instead, medieval darkness raises-amongst ochlocracy. Idols and their worshipers – diminished the profound knowledge all. The Epicurean ethics and the ancient spirit remained again into pause. …And then, everything was brought back in a misleading form. Desecrating confusion and illiteracy condemned the earth as a whole. Grabbed afterwards among the ruins. Re-drafted and re-written of non-existing evidence, by benighted, and fools(!). 08. 40:20 Flēbilis Moriendum (Μονωδία) 09. 44:03 ThanatOpsis “Kenes Doxes” of all men: fraudulent notions about gods. Superstition and false belief: the cradle’s terror of Thanatos. The only path to salvation: the perception of nature and cosmos. All human judgements come from sense. What has been dissolved, is now of no[n] sense, and what has no sense is nothing to us all(!) “ὁ Θάνατος μηδέν πρὸς ἡμᾶς” ("[D]eath is nothing to us and no concern of ours, since our tenure of the mind is mortal... ... When we shall be no more -- when the union of body and spirit has been disrupted -- to us, who shall then be nothing, nothing will happen anymore at all. Nothing will have power to stir sense, not though earth be fused with sea and sea with sky".) Mortem nihil ad nos pertinere “Meditare Mortem”. Pure reason and “Nature's mirror” reject the fear of Thanatos. Living and dying, wise men, they are not afraid of. Cowards, zealots and idiots – kneel before decease, their worst case scenario, buried alive – in a state of ‘catalepsy’. The lack of sense defines the nothingness of men in death. Demise will never be a part of sense-experience. Mortem nihil ad nos – Thanatopsis: “Meditare Mortem”. 10. 51:26 Exodus - Catharsis “Δεν ωφελεί πια ο θρήνος. Ο θεός ο Διόνυσος, Θηβαίοι, μιλάει,​ που απ' της Σεμέλης και του Αία τον γάμο γεννήθηκε στη χώρα σας· ωστόσο, εσείς τον αψηφήσατε, και πρώτος εστάθη στην ασέβεια ο βασιλιάς σας o θεομάχος,​ που, τον ευεργέτη του με λόγους κι' έργα τον πρόσβαλε, από θυμό και φθόνο κινημένος, για τούτο κ' έχει λάβει απ' τους δικούς του θάνατο ντροπιασμένο· ἁμῆ και σας, Θηβαίοι, σας περιμένουν πολλά δεινά, που δεν θα τ' αποκρύψω: διότι ονειδίσατε το πρόσωπό μου και ψευδολογούσατε πως η Σεμέλη με γέννησε με θνητό. Από την γενέτειρα σας θα σας διώξουν Ορδές βαρβάρων. Δαμασμένοι από δόρυ θα πλανηθείτε στην εξορία και δεν θα ξαναδείτε την πατρίδα, σηκώνοντας ζυγό δουλείας για το ανόσιο μίασμα. Όσο για την Αγαύη και τις κόρες του Κάδμου, θα μισέψουν απ' τη Θήβα, γιατί 'ναι μολεμένες απ' τον φόνο· και δεν πρέπει πια να κατοικούν στη γη των πατέρων τους· είναι ασεβές όσοι εφόνευσαν να μένουν εγγύς στους τάφους των νεκρών.”​ ‘Euphoria’, ‘Cosmic fire’, Chthonic muse and ‘Methexis’, followed by all Satyrs. ‘EXODUS’ - ‘CATHARSIS’ “Και Κάδμο εσύ, πολλά μέλλει να πάθεις. Κι εσύ θα εγκαταλείψεις την πόλη που διψάει για φόνο, και μορφή θ' αλλάξεις. Φίδι θα γενείς, κ' η θυγατέρα του Άρη, η Αρμονία γυναίκα σου που πήρες, αν και θνητός, όψη θεριού κι αυτή θα λάβει, θα γίνει ερπετό. Σε βοδαμάξι απάνω, με τη γυναίκα σου μαζί θα τρέχεις, όπως το λέγει ο χρησμός του Διός σε στρατόν αρχηγεύοντας βαρβάρων· πολιτείες πολλές θα να πατήσεις µε αρίφνητο φουσάτο· όταν όμως εκείνοι κουρσέψουν το μαντείο του Απόλλωνος, τους μέλλεται νόστος άθλιος. Εσένα ωστόσο με την Αρμονία, ο Άρης θα σας σώσει και θα σας φέρει να ζήσετε στη γη των μακάρων. Εγώ τα λέω, του Δία ο γόνος, ο Διόνυσος, κι όχι κάποιου θνητού ο γιος. Κι αν, έχοντας ως σύμμαχό σας τον υιό του Διός, είχατε τη γνώση τότε να φανείτε σώφρονες, σήμερα την εύνοια του θεού θα είχατε με το μέρος σας, και θα ζούσατε ευδαίμονες.”​ ‘Euphoria’, ‘Cosmic fire’, Chthonic muse and ‘Methexis’, followed by all Satyrs.
