“... a totality of the Dionysian, Apollonian, and Promethean virtues” - Wole Soyinka on his belief of Ogun in his essay “ The Forth Stage”

[Wole Soyinka Stan @StanWole]

The forth stage is a concept developed by Wole Soyinka. It is also where the deity Ogun can exist because he does not fit into any of the other areas. He is “Lord of the Road” and the forth stage is the area of transition. #Thea4363

The Yoruba believe there are three major areas of existence. The world of the unborn, the world of the dead and the world of the living. The forth stage is the belief that there is another area that is the transitional area between all of them. #Thea4363
