Meaning of "bacchic" in English

The word "bacchic" refers to anything related to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, or to the festivities associated with him. It often describes events characterized by uninhibited revelry, merriment, and indulgence in wine and dance. The term is derived from the ancient Roman and Greek cultures, where Bacchus (known as Dionysus in Greek mythology) was celebrated with exuberant festivals. These gatherings emphasized liberation from norms and an embrace of joyous abandonment. The adjective "bacchic" thus conveys notions of intense, spirited celebration and freedom from restraint, typically involving music, dance, and alcohol.
