Orgies? you mean in roman era. Anyway Greek theology is sooo complicated that you can get lost in all those different interpretations of the myths. Im reading lately 2 books. ''A history of greek religion'' by M.P Nilsson and ''History of ancient Athens from mythic years to pelloponesian war'' by S.I Kargakos. Guys my head hurt from overloading! I mean so many explanations and interpretations that even me a greek that grew up from infancy with those stories can get comfussed some times.
