DIONYSUS GOD OF WINE SCULPTURE
Dionysus was the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and ecstasy in Greek mythology. 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, and is included in some lists of the twelve Olympians. Dionysus was the last god to be accepted into Mt. Olympus. He was the youngest and the 2024 only one to have a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre. He is an example of a dying god. (01-184-A)
