DIONYSUS' CORE
In the intense silence of the hills and olive trees, in a classic harmony of architectonic structures, relive the suggestions of Sicilian history and culture, the antique glamour of Dionysus' myth and his heart, which were dear to the selinuntini.
In the mythical land of Selinunte, it is said that the Titans tore into seven pieces Dionysus' limbs Athena saved Dionysus' heart by laying it in the " Liknon", a covered basket, which was hidden on the Parnassus. During the holy mysteries, celebrating the eternal cycle of Nature, the "Kraidiaìos Dionysos" Dionysus' heart, was carried in procession by the satyrs and offered to the Bachantes, to be reawakened amidst the singing of merry hymns.

"All the parts of Dionysus were frantumated by the gods separators, while only the heart remained undivided, for Athena's providence, infact they only left the heart you see".
