Biography
Named after the Greek God. He's my Nature Prince!
The only surviving heir from the pestilence known only as Contagion, Dionysus represents the single flower from a parched earth. His bright wings brought hope to the Lair of Many References since many worried that the children that THING sired would become corrupted by Alduin. Even Eurydice was convinced, and she stopped watching him so closely once Parishii arrived. Dionysus was not, thanks to the quick wittedness of Brisby, and he survived the mass exalt. He was given new genes and now he serves Gladekeeper herself as a representative. He is an avid gardener and, despite his renown, enjoys his privacy. Charlie helps him get the place ready for Halloween, and Opalescence turns his paradise into a winter wonderland come Christmas!
He has since shed the genes that relate him in any way to the THING known only as Contagion, being gifted new ones in celebration of his Flight Representative status. However, he cannot hide the fact that he is part pestilence, no matter how much life he grows in his garden. In the end...his ‘father’ may come for him too. Of course, it'll have to get past Yggdrasil first.
...Some attribute the success of his garden to a certain small faery affectionately nicknamed JoJo...

The cult of Dionysus is also a "cult of the souls"; his maenads feed the dead through blood-offerings, and he acts as a divine communicant between the living and the dead. He is sometimes categorised as a dying-and-rising god.
In Greek mythology, he is presented as a son of Zeus and the mortal Semele, thus semi-divine or heroic: and as son of Zeus and Persephone or Demeter, thus both fully divine, part-chthonic and possibly identical with Iacchus of the Eleusinian Mysteries. Some scholars believe that Dionysus is a syncretism of a local Greek nature deity and a more powerful god from Thrace or Phrygia such as Sabazios or Zalmoxis.

Dionysus (/daɪ.əˈnaɪsəs/; Greek: Διόνυσος, Dionysos) is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in ancient Greek religion and myth. Wine played an important role in Greek culture, and the cult of Dionysus was the main religious focus for its unrestrained consumption. He may have been worshipped as early as c. 1500–1100 BC by Mycenean Greeks;traces of Dionysian-type cult have also been found in ancient Minoan Crete. His origins are uncertain, and his cults took many forms; some are described by ancient sources as Thracian, others as Greek. In some cults, he arrives from the east, as an Asiatic foreigner; in others, from Ethiopia in the South. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his cults. He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, becoming increasingly important over time, and included in some lists of the twelve Olympians, as the last of their number, and the only god born from a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre. He is also known as Bacchus (/ˈbækəs/ or /ˈbɑːkəs/; Greek: Βάκχος, Bakkhos), the name adopted by the Romans and the frenzy he induces is bakkheia. His thyrsus, sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey, is both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who oppose his cult and the freedoms he represents. As Eleutherios ("the liberator"), his wine, music and ecstatic dance free his followers from self-conscious fear and care, and subvert the oppressive restraints of the powerful. Those who partake of his mysteries are possessed and empowered by the god himself. |
