There's an old myth about these sailors trying to kill him becase they though Dionysus was too drunk to fight back or turn into his godly form. But Dionysus turned them into dolphins. He can also drive people insane, or strangle them with grape vines. Happy thoughts...

Why was dionysus mad at orpheus?

Dionysus was angry with Orpheus because, during his descent to the Underworld to retrieve his wife Eurydice, Orpheus failed to honor Dionysus and his rites. Instead of celebrating Dionysian festivities, Orpheus focused solely on his love for Eurydice, disregarding the god's influence and importance. In retaliation, Dionysus caused the Maenads, his female followers, to attack Orpheus, culminating in his tragic death. This punishment reflects Dionysus's demand for recognition and reverence in the face of human passion.


Why is dionysus called the resurrecting god?

Zeus became angry with Dionysus' mother, Semele while she was pregnant with him. He slammed her with a thunderbolt, and as she burned down to an ash heap, Zeus grabbed the infant from her womb and sewed it into his own leg. When the infant was strong enough to be born, Zeus cut the stitches, removed the baby and named him Dionysus. Since Dionysus was 'Born Twice,' once when he was pulled from his mother's womb, and again from Zeus' thigh, he was sometimes call the 'Resurrected God.'
