Why does Edith Hamilton call Dionysus and Demeter suffering gods?
Edith Hamilton refers to Dionysus and Demeter as suffering gods because they both experienced significant hardship and pain in their mythological stories.

Their experiences of suffering and resilience contribute to their characterizations as deities who understand human emotions and struggles.
How are Dionysus and Demeter different from the 12 gods of Olympus?
I believe they are different due to the fact that they are able to grow things.

In a sense, Demeter makes the grains and vegetables that supply us with food like bread, and Dionysus makes the fruits that supply us with juices and wines and other drinks.
