Dionysus

In Greek mythology, Dionysus (PROSE: Sky Pirates!, et al.) or Dionysius was the son of Zeus and a sibling to Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Castor and Pollux, Hermes, Hebe, Minos and Persephone. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)

In Athens, in 421 BC, Hex tried to pass himself off as the god Dionysus. (AUDIO: Mask of Tragedy)

The Cista Mystica was a Roman artefact used by the followers of Dionysus. (AUDIO: Dead London)

Behind the scenes

• In Deadly Reunion the god's name is spelled "Dionysius", an apparent typo. In the real world, "Dionysius" is a nominalised adjective meaning "of Dionysus", never applied to the god himself.
