Dionysus was the god of wine, festivity, dual nature, and fertility.

There were many mythes about Dionysus but the most well know is the one concerning his birth. His mother was Semele and his father was Zeus. Acording to the myth after Hera convinces Semele to have Zeus show her his true for which causes to her to die. After this "Zeus recovered their unborn child from her body, sewed him up in his own thigh, and carried him to term"(Doinysos). What happened after this is widley debated.

Dionysus is best described as a caring individual. Unlike many of the other gods“who were often hostile toward human beings, Dionysus and Demeter were benevolent toward mankind”(Dionysus). He put his followers first leading rescuing and caring for all of them.

Dionysus can also be described as determind. When he was still a fetus his mother died so zeus raised him. When he decame oldenough "he journeyed to the underworld to find her"(Dionysus). Even though he had never meet his mother he was determinded to make sure she was safe.

Lastly Dionysus can be described as loving. Eventhough he was imortal and wouldn't be able to live his whole life with a mortal that didn't stop him from loving one of them. “Dionysus rescued the princess of Crete, Ariadne, and subsequently fell in love with her. Upon her death, Dionysus placed the crown he had given her among the stars”(Dionysus). He loved her even though he knew he couldnt be with her very long and when she did die he made a symbol in the sky so she would always remember her.

The theme of the myth is new life. Not only did Dionysus defie death once but he did it a second time as well. Even after Dionysus was born hera was still jealous so she aranged for "the Titans to rip him to pieces; however, Rhea brought him back to life"(Dionysus). He was also believed to be one of the very few gods who could go to the underworld.

Dionysus is one of the best greek gods because he worshiped with his people. He also was nice to his people.
