In addition, he also protected Greek agriculture and drama culture. In the legend of the Holy Mountain of Olympia, he is the son of Zeus and Semele, and some people say that he is the son of Zeus and Persephone. The ancient Greeks' sacrifice to Dionysus was one of the secret religious ceremonies, similar to Ulysses' secret ceremony to Demeter and Poseidon. In the Thrace ceremony, Palmer wore fox skin, which is said to symbolize rebirth. The Dionysus Carnival ceremony dedicated to Dionysus is the most secret religious ceremony. Dio-in the name of Dionysus, the god of wine, is generally believed to have originated from Zeus (genial dio), just like the Dioscuri brothers (ancient Greek: Δ ι? The name σ κ ο ο ο ι (Latin: diosc r:) also has Dio-. Scholar Robert ·s·p· bicks thinks that his god name may have originated in pre-Greek period. Dionysian worship originated very early. In Mycenae Greek, his name was written as a linear B character left by 0(di-wo-nu-so) in the record. Historians believe that Dionysian belief prevailed in Mycenaean civilization from about 1500 BC to100 BC. Some scholars believe that this belief may appear in Minoan civilization.
Dionysus is the son of Zeus and Semele. When Zeus saw that his lover, Semele, showed his true colors, Semele fell to the ground at first sight and fainted. Zeus saw her panic and went to her side. Unexpectedly, the lightning fire on Zeus lit the palace. In an instant, everything in the past was reduced to ashes. When Semele was burned to death by bright flames, Dionysus was just a premature baby. It was his father's strong hand that saved him. His father sewed him on his thigh, waiting for his official birth. So the name means "Zeus's rotten leg".
As a baby, Dionysus was entrusted to his mother's sister, the second wife of King Atamas of Thebes. She regarded Dionysus as her son, but she was afraid of Zeus' revenge. In the end, she chose Jean and Qiu Li to take the child to Nisad's home and give it to the fairies in the mountains, who carefully nurtured him to grow up. When he was a teenager, he was appointed as the god of revelry, and the mountain god (Silenus), who was half man and half sheep, was his mentor, educated him and accompanied him on a trip. He drove around in a car pulled by the beast Panther. He has mastered all the secrets about nature and wine history. Wherever he goes, he teaches people how to grow grapes and make sweet wine. It is said that this is how he wandered, from Greece to Asia Minor, and even ventured as far away as India and Ethiopia. Wherever he goes, music, singing and binge drinking follow him.
His followers are called Dionysian followers, and they are also famous for being noisy and disorderly. They laughed wildly and drank, danced and sang casually. Among his female followers, the most unconstrained is the Dionysian priest. In the carnival atmosphere, they were intoxicated and danced with him all the time, jumping from one kingdom to another. When they are crazy or extremely excited, they will use cruel violence. They once tore the hands and feet of talented musician orpheus. Even pantos, the king of the city of Tebai, persevered in persecuting Dionysus and the Thebes who followed Dionysus because his people worshipped Bacchus (the Roman name of Dionysus), so he was punished by Dionysus and died tragically in the hands of a furious woman (Dionysus), and it was Agova, pantos's biological mother, who led this group of fanatical women to punish pantos.
