Legacy
In Athens, in 421 BC, Hex tried to pass himself off as the god Dionysus. (AUDIO: Mask of Tragedy)
The Feast of Dionysus was held in the god's honour in Babylon during the fourth century BC. (AUDIO: Farewell, Great Macedon)
The Cista Mystica was a Roman artefact used by the followers of Dionysus. (AUDIO: Dead London)
In the mid-20th century, Professor Stone oversaw the British Ministry of Defence's Dionysus Project, which culminated in the development of a device that could tear open the fabric of reality. (AUDIO: Zagreus)
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.
