1. Hmm, a man with curly hair doing a horse, a sword, a dog, a big tadpole, and a crab?

4. That's a big beer keg. Is it full of frothy fremented grains and hops?

5. I'm actually perplexed by that statue. Must be a frat house.
Dionysus should be with some vines. I'm thinking there is wine in that vat. I certainly hope so.

6. Superb book = "The Origins of the Mithraic Mysteries", David Ulansey.
ALSO~~~The statue "Mithras Slaying the Cosmic Bull" is in the Princeton U. Library, if you're ever in the vicinity!
