Dionysus was a demigod of Greek mythology, the son of Zeus and a mortal woman Semele.
Dionysus 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 Dionysus, critical scholarship dismisses any variant of the Jesus Myth Theory aimed to establish a direct connection between Jesus and Dionysus. The cult of Dionysus however heavily influenced the worship and iconography of the Church.
