Greek myths of Dionysus
 
 

 

Traveling around the world and attracting followers (many of them female), the young Dionysus was quite a wild and mystic one in his youth even though he was very special to his father Zeus, who gave birth to the young god himself since his mother had died when she glimpsed the full majesty of Zeus. The Greek god of the ecstatic experience created quite a stir wherever and his followers went. Eventually the Olympian gods and goddesses could no longer ignore Dionysus and his brave (and crazy) adventures and exploits so he finally was allowed to take his rightful place among the other deities.nbsp;nbsp;: : : : : :nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;: : : : : :nbsp; nbsp;nbsp; nbsp;Traveling around the world and attracting followers (many of them female), the young Dionysus was quite a wild one in his youth even though he was very special to his father Zeus, who gave birth to the young god himself since his mother had died when she glimpsed the full majesty of Zeus. nbsp;nbsp;: : : : : :nbsp; nbsp; The Greek god of the ecstatic experience created quite a stir wherever and his followers went.
