Day 2: How did you first become aware of this deity?

Day 1: A basic introduction

Dionysus is the Hellenic(Greek) god of wine, theater, ecstasy, madness, gender, parties, and vegetation. Some of his common associations are grapes, ivy, leopards, goblets, phallic imagery, pine trees, and theater masks.

Dionysus has a long history of being associated with different gods and deities from other cultures. Some of which include: Jesus, Osiris, Zagreus, Bachus, and Liber. A common theory on why this happened was because of Dionysus’ traveling tendencies.

There are many stories describing the personality and appearance of Dionysus. Many stories describe him as having a feminine figure, while others describe him as being large and hairy. Some believe there are two different gods both named Dionysus.
