The Book-Keeper from Atlantis · 10 pages
While vacationing on the Greek island of Thira, Bacchus chances upon a couple of old friends from Atlantis. One of them currently runs a bookstore containing much of the Atlantean knowledge of old. Well, he did. Then Bacchus unintentionally burns it down (darn cigarettes).
Look Ma, No Deoxyribonucleic Acid! · 8 pages
Bacchus and his new-found followers debate the composition of human life. Is it DNA, or divine intervention? Bacchus manages to reconcile the two concepts, with his own unique twist. He is the Greek god of revelry, after all.
A God and His Dog · 8 pages
While taking a nap, Bacchus covers a small island with grapevines, to the delight of his disciples. He then expounds upon the history of wine.
The History of Fashion · 8 pages
As his followers take up simpler ways (all right, they're buck naked), Bacchus gives his perspective on fashion. Remember, he's thousands of years old; he's seen it all.
The Art of Wine · 4 pages
Bacchus continues his observations on the manufacture of wine (his favorite subject, after all).
It's a Jungle in Here · 10 pages
When his dilletante followers begin to gripe that Bacchus has been wasting their time, he decides to pull that ol' black magic out of his hat. That night, the island is home to a good old-fashioned Bacchanal. The complainers might be getting more than they bargained for.
