Dionysius was a demigod of Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and a mortal woman Semele.
Dionysius and Jesus
Friedrich Hölderline identified Dionysus with Christ in Brod und Wein (1800–1801) and Der Einzige (1801–1803).
Although recognizing some similarities between the narratives attributed to Jesus and Dionysius, critical scholarship dismisses any variant of the Jesus Myth Theory aimed to establish a direct connection between Jesus and Dionysius. The cult of Dionysius however heavily influenced the worship and iconography of the Church.
