The Ancient Thracian God of 'Huh?'

About

After playing an awe-struck Messenger in a Greek tragedy, delivering visions and witness of the beautiful madness and fury that Dionysus/Bacchus/Bromius/Iacchos had inflicted on his followers, I wanted to write a concert piece based on such a vengeful and jealous deity. However, drawing from the traditional Greco-Roman pantheon would have been too restrictive, since many of their divine figures still have profiles and connotations a couple of millennia later. My own personal god would be better – a god created by me on a whim and now inserted into the historical record for all time. This god has no need for names, or even for epithets, as it is all-powerful up against the futile efforts of mortals to label and identify it. Because I said so, it meddled in the lives of the inhabitants of ancient Thrace without them even knowing it. And you know why? BECAUSE IT CAN. Poor sods.
