Blue Jay 22 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 @112 @falcon45ca @luckylager @Beluga Whale If you could go back in time to any time period, what/when would it be? Personally, it fascinates me as a history major, as there are endless possibilities. If I wanted to be basic, I would say French Revolution, heart of Paris. I can only imagine the romance, horror, and fun of the local citizen then, but knowing my luck, I would be reincarnated as Marie Antoinette. If I host a mafia game, I think that will be theme. But only if BW plays. 2 1 Link to comment

It was an extraordinary time of enlightenment, and a wide array of different philosophical views and views on mathematics/science were created by the great minds who lived there. Culturally, Ancient Greece was such a fascinating place; I love their mythology and ideas on theology and am fond of how they practiced life. They were smarter than us in so many ways. 1 1 Link to comment

I guess my answer is somewhat temporally vague...I'd love to witness Hellinistic Greece to the Death of Julius Ceasar, but that's like a 300 year gap...so to narrow it down, I'd like to visit 10 years before the death of Alex the Pretty Good to 30 years afterward. Of course I'd like to be in Greece during this time, no point in traveling to the past if you screw up the location. 2 Link to comment

Ok, to choose another, less similar time period, I now choose the Italian Renaissance OR! The roaring 20's...actually no. The roaring 20's. &^@# yeah, what a time to be alive...oh the 20's in America...like I said, time travel ain't $&!# without the proper destination. Edited July 9, 2019 by falcon45ca Link to comment

There's a lack of cohesion between the ideas, but the figure Dionysus remains the same: I think he's quite sane in the "Only Fool! Only Poet", and less so in the latter correspondance Link to comment
