A relationship of great nephew and great uncle prevails between Theban King Oedipus and Dionysus.

Dionysus is the Greek god of wine, theater, grapes and fertility. But he is the son of the mortal Semele, daughter of Theban King Cadmus, and of Zeus, king of the Greek gods. Oedipus is the great great grandson of Cadmus.
