No other god of the Greeks is as widely present in the monuments and nature of Greece and Italy, in the tradition of antiquity, as Dionysos. This work presents a historical account of the religion of Dionysos from its beginnings in the Minoan culture to its transition to a cosmic and cosmopolitan religion of late antiquity under the Roman Empire.
