I realize that when I say Dionysus people tend to think of wine and vines, but that is only part of it. This wonder and informative book by Vicki Bramshaw opened up a whole new vista.The origins of Dionysus seem to stem from the island of Crete, where there was a horned God called Zagrreuss. Yet Dionysus has another origin coming from Thrace, and this horned god was called Sabazios. In fact there are many gods who fed into the Dionysus current and included amongst those are Osiris and Tammuzi, of Babylon.Dionysus is a true Lord of the Hunt, he is associated with animals and with hunting. In fact he is an eater of raw flesh. Yet he is also vegetarian. Dionysus was a true liminal god who embraced opposites.According to Greek legend Dionysus was born from an illicit affair between Persephone and Zeuss. Zeuss took the form of a snake and then seduced her in a cave. From this union Dionysus was born. Hera in her jealousy wanted Dionysus destroyed. So she hired some Titans to do the job. They distracted him with a mirror and got his lightning bolts from him. They killed him and devoured him. Zeuss in his anger zapped them with a lightning bolt and from their ashes created man kind and he ate Dionysus’s heart. This represent one of the phases of Dionysus. The Zagreuss Dionysus from Crete who is associated with wine and mead is the Dionysus of the underworld. He brings winters relief from the summer’s scorching sun.As things progressed Dionysus was reborn from a mortal woman named Semele. Hera in her jealousy convinced her to ask Zeuss if she could see him in real form. Zeuss’s real form was lighting and this quick view burned Semele to ash. Zeus then took Dionysus and put him in his thigh. Dionysus’s second birth corresponded to Sabazios or bromios. This was the hunter god who went into a frenzy and would devour raw flesh. Hew was the Lord of the Summer Sun.Dionysus’s final form was that of Iachen, this too has some precedence in Egypt and Thrace. Dionysus goes down to the underworld to rescue Ariadne from death. He does so and ascends to Heaven.Dionysus was a god of physical passions, mead, wine, hunting , protection and liberation. He was the only God of the Greek pantheon who could possess his follower. Often times they held their rights outside of the city and the government was not always favorable toward them. Dionysus fought many battle. Associated with Dionysus are pine, goats, bulls, grapes honey, snakes, panther and figs. This review is only the tip of the iceburg. Book is loaded with tons of information on Dionysus. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good historical info but lacks depth *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020* book is solid if youre beginner to mythology but its a bore if youre a pro. its heavy on historical variations of the deity, reads like a well written Wiki page but lacks the juice you would want. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A look into the paradoxical nature of Dionysos *by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014* The Gods of the ancient Greeks are almost annoyingly familiar, with one notable exception, Dionysus. Alone among them, he embraces and transcends destruction and creation, male and female, birth and death, divine madness and prophecy.The puzzling associations of Dionysus, from his association with viticulture, the sacred bull, the underworld, and the animating power of the Gnostic cosmos are explored in this extensively researched book.My own interest was piqued through tantalising similarities between the frenzied trance of initiates, and similar patterns found in distant cultures.However, this is a book about Dionysus, not comparitive religious study, thus associations are left to the reader to discover.Ultimately, this book will be most useful to those who are not satisfied with the dismissal of Dionysos as the crass god of drunkenness, those who are fascinated by his reach, his paradoxical nature, and those who strive to grasp the truth behind the myth. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/142406338-dionysos-exciter-to-frenzy-a-study-of-the-god-dionysos](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/142406338-dionysos-exciter-to-frenzy-a-study-of-the-god-dionysos) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
