Dionysian-Dithyrambs
Dionysian-Dithyrambs () is a collection of nine poems written in second half of 1888 by Friedrich Nietzsche under the nom de plume of Dionysos. The first six poems ("Zwischen Raubvögeln, Das Feuerzeichen, Die Sonne sinkt, Letzter Wille, Ruhm und Ewigkeit" and "Von der Armut des Reichsten") were published in the 1891 edition of "Also sprach Zarathustra". The other three poems ("Klage der Ariadne, Nur Narr! Nur Dichter!" and "Unter Töchtern der Wüste") are compositions drawn from those found in "Also sprach Zarathustra" only slightly altered. "Ruhm und Ewigkeit" was published at the finis of the 1908 first edition of "Ecce Homo"; however, it is now deemed to be a requisite part of "Dionysos-Dithyramben".

In January 1889, during his dementia, Nietzsche drafted "dedications" of "Dionysos-Dithyramben" to Catulle Mendès, a French poet, critic and novelist, an exemplar of Parnassianism, and author of the libretto to the operetta "Isoline" composed by André Messager, which made its debut at the Théâtre de la Renaissance in Paris on 26 December 1888, in which he states his high regard for Mendès, calling him "des grössten und ersten Satyr, der heute lebt—und nicht nur heute".
