Wine Dionysius was a name of several Greek figures, including a historian. Dionysos (or Dionysus in Latin) was the god of wine, chaos, and tragic theatre. He was born of Zeus and a mortal woman, Semele, who died immediately after mating with Zeus. She asked to see the god in all his glory, and so was incinerated by Zeus' brilliance. Zeus rescued the fetus and sewed it into his thigh, from which Dionysos was later born. Because of his miraculous birth, he was made a full god after his earthly travels and his ascension to the heavens.
