Did the Ephesians worship Bacchus god of wine?
Since in the first two centuries AD Ephesus had a population of around 500,000 and was an important political and trade center it is unlikely that there was not one single worshiper of Bacchus there, given the Roman presence. Ephesus is however particularly noted for its devotion to the goddess Diana (otherwise known as Artemis), whose temple was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. This indicates that this god was popular given the great cost in building this enormous public structure, which excavations have revealed was 239 feet wide and 418 feet long (the temple platform), the roof being supported by 117 60 foot high columns. The picture of the riot which followed the preaching of the Christian message by Paul in the Book of Acts (see 19:13) indicates that the worship of this goddess supported a flourishing industry for those who made images and who then saw their livelihood being threatened by this new 'imageless' religion.

Toga. Toga. Toga.?
So, you want to be a Greek Goddess. Actually, that will not be a difficult character to depict, and there are several from which to choose. If you are a male, of course things may be a bit more difficult. But, it would be funny to see a man in a Greek Goddess costume. Having a mindset of being cost efficient with this costume, here are some ideas for you to consider: The main part of any of the Greek Goddess costumes is the dress, or toga. Draping and belting white sheets around a person will make a nice toga. Then, you'll be ready to accessorize accordingly, depending on which goddess you choose. The following are simple history lessons with ideas to help with the embellishment of all your Greek Goddess costumes: Aphrodite was the Goddess of Love. Her symbols included the rose, shell, and wreath. Put a necklace of shells over your toga and carry a long stemmed rose. A wreath on your head, and you will be the perfect Aphrodite. She also loved doves, so you might want to carry a fake bird. Artemis was the Goddess of the Hunt. Men might enjoy wearing this costume. This goddess would wear a shorter toga, knee length. Hunting things like a bow and arrows, or an animal skin would be perfect accessories for this costume. Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. This one could get rather grotesque. Athena carried a spear. No problem. But, she also carried Medusa's head on a platter, using it to paralyze her enemies. Medusa was the woman who had snakes for hair. Fake snakes are found in any toy store. Hestia was the Goddess of Hearth, Home and Cooking. No, she did not wear an apron over her toga. She did wear a veil. She would be modestly dressed and virtuous-looking. She might carry a kettle or a pan for emphasis. Have a great time developing your Greek Goddess costume. Be as simple as you want, or as extravagant. You can have a great costume without spending a fortune.
