The God Who Refuses to Stay in the Margins

Dionysus embodies wine, theater, ecstasy, destruction, and renewal. Zhong Shu traces his changing presence from Greek myth and tragedy into philosophy, literature, and music.

Through thinkers and artists including Plato, Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Beethoven, and Dostoevsky, the series explores civilization's tension between order and intoxication—and the dark, creative forces of the human spirit. Audio is in Chinese.
