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.
Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, festivity, and ecstasy, primarily fears the denial of his divinity and the rejection of his worship. This fear is embodied in his encounters with figures like Pentheus, who dismisses his divine nature and refuses to honor him. Additionally, Dionysus is wary of mortals who challenge his authority, as their rejection can lead to chaos and punishment, which he often enacts to assert his power and ensure recognition of his status.
