In Roman mythology, the god of merrymaking, debauchery, and festive revelry; often depicted as a young man leading a procession of revelers.
From Greek komos, meaning 'a revel or merry-making,' which itself may relate to the root meaning 'to treat or care for.' The Greek god Comus represented the spirit of festive excess and pleasure.
Comus represents why the Romans loved that sweet spot between civilization and chaos—he's basically the mythological excuse for an all-night party, which explains why his name became synonymous with wild celebrations.
