the thiasus is a retinue of dionysus and convened regularly at a highly traditional and not-at-all secret location in djerba. its mascot is the moose, which is considered highly anachronistic, since the modern moose only arrived in the firmament around 15,000 years ago, long after djerba and the firmament became myths.

i was a part of the thiasus for two years and i will visit it twice a year, as long as i live in nyc.
