If only the World worshipped Dionysus - the God of Wine instead of the God of War.

If only we had all decided to worship Dionysus, the God of Wine .... the world would be a much happier place. Why instead did we choose to Worship the God of Thunder, the God of Terror, the God of Fear and Jealously ?

Dionysus, Bacchus or @bromius

Dionysus (/daɪ.əˈnaɪsəs/; Greek: Διόνυσος Dionysos) is the God of the Grape Harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in ancient Greek religion and myth.

Wine played an important role in Greek culture, and the cult of Dionysus was the main religious focus for its unrestrained consumption. His worship became firmly established in the seventh century BC. He may have been worshipped as early as c. 1500–1100 BC by Mycenean Greeks; traces of Dionysian-type cult have also been found in ancient Minoan Crete.

His origins are uncertain, and his cults took many forms; some are described by ancient sources as Thracian, others as Greek. In some cults, he arrives from the east, as an Asiatic foreigner; in others, from Ethiopia in the South. He is a god of epiphany, "the god that comes", and his "foreignness" as an arriving outsider-god may be inherent and essential to his cults.

He is a major, popular figure of Greek mythology and religion, becoming increasingly important over time, and included in some lists of the twelve Olympians, as the last of their number, and the only god born from a mortal mother. His festivals were the driving force behind the development of Greek theatre.

Interestingly .... In his Quaestiones Convivales, the Greek writer Plutarch of Chaeronea claimed that Yahweh was equivalent to Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of wine, drunkenness, and ritual madness.

Bromius in ancient Greece was used as an epithet of Dionysus/Bacchus. It signifies "noisy", "roaring", or "boisterous", from βρέμειν, to roar. According to Richard Buxton, Bromius (Bromios) is another name for a fundamental divine figure that precedes Ouranus and Night in Orphic myth. This alternative view to Hesiod was discovered by a fragmentary papyrus discovered in Derveni, Macedonia (Greece) in 1962, which is referred to as the Derveni papyrus.
