PAN & SELENE

Red Wine

Dionysus, the god of wine, loved lavish celebrations – the more decadent, dissolute and excessive, the better. His entourage included Pan, the lascivious god of shepherds, a mystic hybrid being who was half man, half goat. Pan entertained the assembled divine company with his ecstatic flute playing, surrounded by his attendant nymphs and satyrs. During one such orgy in the woods, he met Selene, the goddess of the moon. He fell madly in love with her and seduced her clad only in a white sheepskin. If this special designer glass is rotated, this divine myth unfolds as a magical short story on the glass.
