Dionysus is the god of wine and intoxication. He was originally a demigod, but was granted immortality by his father, Zeus. When wanting to ascend to the 12 Olympian status (the twelve major gods of the throne room), strife was caused among the gods, since twelve gods/goddesses were already in place in the throne room. In order to prevent a war, Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, stepped down from her throne and allowed Dionysus to claim it. This imbalanced the room - leaving them with five females and seven males - but no one really cared.
