Dionysus was the Greek God of Wine, Joy and Theatre and a Lover of Peace

Dionysus was the son of the Zeus , the King of the Gods and the beautiful Theban Princess Semele, daughter of King Cadmus and Armonia (Harmony).

A handsome young man with impressive hair and a wreath of ivy on his head. IN his hand he was holding a "thyrsos", which was a light staff wrapped with leaves of ivy and a pine cone on its top.

Dionysus was one of the Olympian gods who actually did not live in Mount Olympus but was constantly travelling around the world together with Satyrs and Maenads in order to discover the secrets of winemaking.

Dionysus was known for his lightheartness and always offered his help to anyone in need. He was therefore very popular among gods and mortals and many feasts were being held every year in his honor.
