learn_russianWhat does the word дионисический mean?
Edit: Am I right in thinking that стихия can mean chaos? My dictionary doesn't have it in but I remember seeing it somewhere. My sentence is this: 'two opposing sources formed the Russian soul: природная, языческая, дионисическая стихия'. Given the adjectives, chaos seems better than elements.

it's a very uncommon word, are you reading Nietzsche? :)
