RE-FLUO: NEBRIS

In figurative art and in classical Greek poetry, Nebris (goat skin) is one of the attributes of Dionysus and his followers: satyrs, sileni and maenads. The attribute of the nebris is proof of the primitive character of the Dionysian cult, a reminder of a remote civilization, when the skins of killed animals were the only garments of humanity. In a more advanced stage of civilization, the skin of the animal does not cease to dress the simulacrum of the god, as a legacy of an ancient cult.
