P.S. I can't be the only one pissed with Olympias's sneak-peek. I mean I agree she was a devout of Dyonisus cult and followed Oprphic Greek Polytheism madly but seriously dancing with the snakes? Dude that is Plutarch's cheap thrill fantasy. Why did they have to show that? 

Also I am no fan of Orphic tradition of Greek Polytheism. It showed my favorites Hades and Persephone in such bad light. I hope Praxidike is taking note of this. I call upon Persephone Praxidike Cthonoia to take care of Baba Tewary and Co.🤣

Yes she was a devout of the Dyonisus cult n infact the snake supplier too🤣 hence the army of snakes😆

infact it is said tht Philip was so put off and 'divorced' her after he saw her sleeping with so many snakes🤣

I am supposed to feel bad for Olympias but after reading about it I felt bad for poor Philip instead 🤣

Is it I never knew about it

I think then Chanakya would have got the idea of Vish Kanya after hearing the stories of Olympia

@bold...The Greeks became his ally AFTER he defeated Dhanananda. CGM was married off to Nicator's daughter by Chanakya.

Orphism is a sub-sect of Greek Polytheism. The central deity here is Dyonisus or Bacchus.(Son of Zeus and Semele)  Sometimes identified as Zagreus (the son of Hades and Persephone, though in Orphic tradition he is believed to be the son of Persephone and Zeus). This cult worshipped mystic elements and the sacred symbols of this cult was snake, asphodel and egg. Every devout Orphic kept these symbols in their residence and boudoir.
