who is the person who first labeled apollonian and dionysian responses as such
Apollonian and Dionysian Although the use of the concepts of the Apollonian and Dionysian is linked to Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy, the terms were used before him in German culture.[1] The poet Hölderlin spoke of them, while Winckelmann talked of Bacchus, the god of wine. Rudolf Steiner as well treated in depth of the Apollonian and Dionysian (called "Apollinisches und Dionysisches" in German) and placed them in the general history and spiritual evolution of mankind.
