| “ | One should always be drunk. That's all that matters...But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk. | ” |
–Dionysus | ||
Dionysus is the Estrium god of fertility and wine.
The son of Zeus and the mortal woman, Semele. He is known as the only God to have a mortal mother that Zeus fell in love with. Dionysus was the God of wine, festivity, vegetation, and pleasure, music, and dancing. He was the last god to be accepted into the Heavens. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek Theatre.
