Dionysus [Διόνυσος] is the Greek god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy. Dionysus is the son of Zeus and the mortal Selene and was the last to be accepted into Mt. Olympus. He is the youngest and the only one with a mortal mother. He is depicted as a beardless, sensuous, naked or half-naked androgynous youth: the literature describes him as womanly or “man-womanish”.
