The Greek god Dionysus (also known as Baccus to the Romans) was represented in art variously as an attractive bearded man, a youth, tending to sensual chubbiness, or even a fat baby. The figure in art is most easily identified by his attributes: grapes, ivy, wine cups, wild animals or animal skins. Because the worship festivals of Dionysus were a driving force behind the development of Greek theatre, he is also represented by a bearded theatrical mask.

What was dionysus the greek god?

Dionysus was the god of wine and parties, so he was always in a partying mood. He was once in a morning mood, for his mortal wife died, but then Zeus (I think) made her immortal, and Dionysus was happy again.

Why did dionysus agree to take back his gift?

Dionysus agreed to take back his gift, often depicted in myths, because of the ungratefulness or disrespect shown by those who received it. In stories like that of King Pentheus, the consequences of rejecting or misusing the divine gift of wine and revelry led to chaos and punishment. Ultimately, Dionysus aimed to teach a lesson about the importance of reverence for the divine and the balance between joy and excess.
