Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater, was often feared by those who resisted or denied the chaotic and liberating aspects of life he represented. His followers, the Maenads, embodied this wildness, and those who opposed Dionysus, such as Pentheus in Euripides' play "The Bacchae," experienced his wrath. The fear of Dionysus stemmed from his ability to disrupt social norms and unleash primal instincts, challenging the established order and revealing the darker sides of human nature.
