Description

Dionysus, also Dionysus, son of the god Zeus, belongs to the minor but important deities of the ancient Greek pantheon, as his worship significantly influenced the religious events of Greek territory. Although he is not an Olympian god and Homer seems to ignore him, already from the 6th BC. ai., is represented together with the Olympians, although it appears relatively distant. He is sometimes depicted sitting to the right of his father on the Olympic rooftops. Dionysus as a mythological entity “is neither a child nor a man, but an eternal teenager, occupying a position between the two”. In this form, he represents the “spirit of energy and transformative power of the game” full of cunning, deception and strategies that indicate either the divine wisdom or the archetype of Katergaris, present in almost all the mythologies of the world.
