Basi
The
Goddess of Excess and Intoxication, Basi is
the daughter of Epithymia
(Desire) and Misos
(War).
She
is said to have been conceived the night her
father had won a major battle against the Greek
pantheon. Drunk on his own power, he ravished
Epithymia. In some versions, it was Epithymia who
ravished him.
Completely
hedonistic, Basi took numerous lovers and was
seldom seen sober. She was a mischievous goddess
who loved to create havoc in mortal lives. She was
often blamed for illicit affairs and for greed.
