en Dionysus: God of wine, fruitfulness, parties, festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, vegetation, ecstasy, and the theater. He is the twice-born son of Zeus and Semele, in that Zeus snatched him from his mother's womb and stitched Dionysus into his own thigh and carried him until he was ready to be born. In art he is depicted as either an older bearded god (particularly before 430 BC) or an effeminate, long-haired youth (particularly after 430 BC). His attributes include the thyrsus, a drinking cup, the grape vine, and a crown of ivy. He is often in the company of his thiasos, a group of attendants including satyrs, maenads, and his old tutor Silenus. The consort of Dionysus was Ariadne. It was once held that Dionysius was a later addition to the Greek pantheon, but the discovery of Linear B tablets confirm his status as a deity from an early period. Bacchus was another name for him in Greek. His sacred animals include dolphins, serpents, tigers, and donkeys. tlh dionysus: *wine*, chep yIn, lopmey, yupma’mey, maw’chu’ghach, way’ar, chechchu’ghach, tI, Quchchu’ghach’a’, much meHghem je Qun. *zeus* *semele* je puqloD ghaH, ‘ej cha’logh boghpu’; SoSDaj chI’IDvo’ *dionysus* lelta’ *zeus*, ‘uS nev’obDajDaq QISta’, ‘ej boghqa’pu’pa’ *dionysus*, qengtaH *zeus*.
