	Dionysos - History for Kids!
		But while Demeter was the goddess of dry things growing, like grain, Dionysos was the god of wet things growing, like fruit of all kinds, but especially grapes (and the wine that people made from grapes).
		In fact, Dionysos is in some ways more like Persephone than like Demeter, because he is often thought of as being the wine itself, just as Persephone is the wheat.
		Mythologically, Dionysos is one of the younger gods, like Apollo, Artemis, and Athena.

	Sannion's Sanctuary - The Symbols of Dionysos
		Dionysos was often depicted wearing the cothurnus, or high-heeled buskin, which was adopted by the actors who performed on stage at his feast days.
		Ovid says that Dionysos is associated with the toga virilis either because he is depicted as a young man, midway between childhood and adulthood, or because he is a father, and it is into his care that fathers place their sons.
		Dionysos is intimately connected with the vegetable world, and is actually felt in the growth of green things, in the ripening of fruit on the vine, and in the shade of the oak tree on a heated day.

	Dionysos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Thus the association of Dionysos with the feminine is connected with both his role as a wild god of nature and unbridled passion, and with his role as a liminal figure straddling the boundary between life and death.
		Dionysos has often been seen as the ‘god of epiphany’, the god who appears, suddenly and dramatically and bodily, not only to his followers but also to those misfortunate enough to oppose him.
		Dionysos offers no resistance to being captured and tied up, and goes to meet with the king willingly, who does not recognize that he is a god.

	Dionysos
		Dionysos was probably originally part of a wine cult imported with the intoxicant (the spread of his cult appears to travel with wine imports).

		One mainland sanctuary for a wilder Dionysos was in rural Arcadia.

	DIONYSOS
		From Thrace Dionysos came to his birthplace Thebes, where he drove the women mad (including his aunts who had denied that Zeus was Semele's lover) and punished king Pentheus (who had opposed his new religion and even imprisoned him) by making him dress as a woman and go to spy on the Mainads.
		Dionysos also punished the three daughters of king Minyas of Orchomenos (just north of Thebes) for refusing to participate in his rites; he changed them into bats, or he drove them mad and they devoured Hippasos, son of one of them.
		Dionysos is the god of wine, but, more importantly, he also represents an emotional and ecstatic response to the compulsive rationalism which was so important in Greek life and thought.

	Dionysos
		It has usually been claimed that Dionysos was a late arrival among the Greek gods, on the grounds that the XII Olympians as known to Homer do not yet (or ever) admit or know of Dionysos, and that his cult-places seem to point to the north (Thrace and Macedonia), to Asia Minor, or to Asia.
		Dionysos later rescued his mother from Hades, and she was installed in heaven under the name THYONE.
		Apparently Dionysos was raised by Nymphs on this Mount Hyades (though he was also raised elsewhere by Aunt Ino, who was given the child by Hermes; and also at Macris in Euboea).

	Mythography \| The Greek God Dionysos in Myth and Art
		While the Olympian gods are bright beings of sunlight, Dionysos is a creature of mystery, his very essence an enigma.
		And, perhaps most significantly, his connection with a certain type of cult activity, known as a "mystery", separates him from his fellow Olympians (with the exception of the goddess Demeter, who inspired her own mystery cult).
		So the path to understanding Dionysos is divergent from the one that leads to knowledge of the rest of the Olympian gods.

	Divine Madness
		Part of the uncertainty is visible in the sympathetic characterization of Pentheus, the persecutor of Dionysos, in The Bacchae of Euripides.
		The magnetic force of this attraction is the essence of Dionysos as the god of theatre, as the inner source of tragedy itself.
		The backdrop to the central figures of Pentheus and Dionysos is the chorus of The Bacchae, female devotees of the god.

	Dionysos, Cambridge, MA \| Boston's Hidden Restaurants
		Dionysos is just one of many Greek dining spots in this quirky city across the river from Boston.

		The atmosphere of Dionysos is decidedly plain (remember, this is inside a hotel), but the aforementioned view of the Charles River from the window seats lend a romantic air to the spacious room.

		Dionysos, son of Zeus and the mortal woman Semele, a princess of Thebes, was a winter god whose festivals took place mainly from October through March.

		O Lord Dionysos, may this procession which I hold and this sacrifice be pleasing to thee, and may I and my household celebrate with all good fortune the Country Dionysia, now that I am released from soldiering, and may the thirty years’ peace prove a blessing to me.
