"Sing the Praises"

"Sing the Praises"

This is a biological unit that means excessive, enthusiastic and often exaggerated praise of someone.

🔵 Initially, "dithyramb" is a festive song in honor of the god of wine Dionysus in ancient Greece. When we say this about a person, we hint at the comic nature of the situation: an ordinary mortal is praised as if he were an ancient deity.

🔵Excerpt: This is a metaphor for overly flattering or enthusiastic speech. To sing praises means not only to praise the merit, but to be "filled" with pleasure, to lose the sense of proportion and objectivity.

🔵Moral: Excessive praise is often insincere or pursues selfish goals. Anyone who sings too loudly wants to please and not recognize real achievements.
