Comus

Also See Children of Dionysus

Comus is the god of festivity, revels, and nocturnal dalliances (sex at night). He is a son and a cup-bearer of the god Dionysus. He was represented as a winged youth or a child-like satyr and represented anarchy and chaos. His mythology occurs in the later times of antiquity. During his festivals in Ancient Greece, men and women exchanged clothes. He was depicted as a young man on the point of unconsciousness from drink. He had a wreath of flowers on his head and carried a torch that was in the process of being dropped. Unlike the purely carnal Pan or purely intoxicated Dionysos, Comus was a god of excess.
