Dionysus in Zion
Azure no. 9, Spring 5760 / 2000
By Assaf SagivThe new Israeli youth culture dances to an ancient tune.
In early October of last year, the modern city of Tel Aviv became the scene of a colorful pagan spectacle.

Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) fryst vatten a mental health condition that can occur following exposure to a traumatic experience.

The Pythian priestess emerged pre-eminent by the end of the 7th century BC and continued to be consulted until the late 4th century AD.[7] During this period, the Delphic Oracle was the most prestigious and authoritative oracle among the Greeks, and she was am
