Why is Dio called “hymeneal”? Doesn’t that have to do w/weddings, which is Hera’s (or Hymenaios’s) domain?

Is calling Dion “yellow-haired” just a reference to his general affinity, or a characteristic he was thought to physically possess?

If “hierophant” refers to divination, shouldn’t that be 1 of Apollo’s epithets, instead of Dio’s?

What does it mean by (in both stanzas) “thousand-shaped”? Are they shaped by thousands of years (old), able to shapeshift (like when Zeus was a swan for Leda), etc.?

Lastly, it was mentioned on the reposts but I don’t understand why Apollo’s called a Titan. I know that a lot of basic mythology classes incorrectly teach that Apollo & Helios share the same duties, not that they’re the same person.

Thanks, hope you’re well!

I'm good :3 thank you!

1) I'm not entirely sure. He's not a god primarily associated with weddings, like you said. But maybe it could fall under him as it is a celebration after all? Hymenaeus is Dionysus' son as well, in one account.

2) I have seen him being called golden haired by Hesoid. But Homer gives him dark hair. In this hymn the word used to describe the hair is Xanthos, which is most commonly translated as blonde, apparently. But I don't know much about this yet.

3) Hierophant is more of a priest, than a prophet right? That would make complete sense for Dionysus then, as he is seen as the god who resides over mystic rites.

4) I'm sure it refers to their shapeshifting ability.

Penelope turned towards the other woman, one of her eyebrows raised in surprise. She was well used to society considering her invisible, apart from the times she spent with the Bridgertons. She had been watching from the sidelines as was her usual when the statement registered in her brain.

Card Suits Headcanons

For every ♦️ I receive I will write a personality head canon Ororo knows sometimes she comes across as being cold, but it’s because she’s so used to having to be in control all the time that it’s become like a default setting for her.

For every ♣️ I receive I will write a dark head canon There has been times Ororo didn’t want to use her powers to harm/take someone’s life. She wanted to get her hands bloody, feel it for herself.
