The living story

The story so far

Silenus raised Dionysus, taught him the vine and the revel, and once — captured by King Midas — traded three days of wisdom for his freedom. His wisdom: the best thing for mortals is not to be born; the second best, to die soon. Cheerful fellow.

Happening now

He dozes in Dionysus's train, waking for vintages and wisdom in equal measure. The young satyrs bring him their problems; he solves them with naps.

What may come

Half spirit, half mortal appetites — the Terata's gentlest hybrid. The songs say wisdom and wine are the same subject; Silenus is the professor.

Whispers about Silenus

“Silenus's wine-skin is never empty and never full — exactly as full as the occasion requires.”

The wisest drunk measures by the moment.

The Terata

Not born, but made — by curses, by gods, by the slow cruelty of being remembered wrong. Power with a price.
