Shi’ites

(SHEE-ites) A minority sect of Islam that believes that rule of the Caliph (Islamic leader on Earth, much like the Pope, who is voted in) should stay within Muhammad’s family line.
There is a split between Shi’ites and Sunnis due to political/religious disagreements over Islamic leadership, or the Caliph.

Dionysus

Dionysus (Bacchus) is the son of Zeus and the god of the vine (wine).
There were Greek festivals in honor of Dionysus and a theater of Dionysus in Athens. The terms Apollo and Dionysus are juxtaposed as contrasts or conflicts – restraint and reason vs. license; this concept was later written about by the German philosopher Friedich Nietzsche (1844-1900).
