After reading about Dionysus for homework, I discovered the major symbolism of wine and party that Dionysus contains. His name is featured in a vast variety of wineries across the globe, including Australia, South Africa, and Canada. Fascinated by this, I further researched about the history of dionysus and found that there were claims that Dionysus had the ability to affect the behavior of women, which could be taken in a variety of ways. Since there is a major connection between him and wine, it was found that women were often put together to drink and men were excluded from alcoholic gatherings with women. This was very interesting to me after reading about Dionysus!
