DIONYSUS- Mateo López

Hi, I’m Dionysus or in Roman Bacchus, I am the god of the wine and the nature also an inspiration and feature in religious mysteries. I am son of Zeus and Semele. I am a good and gentle with people that honored me, but I gave madness and destruction to those who deserved it. My ability is incredible, when I die and can born again. And this is my story, one day Zeus was mad with semele, my mom, and he killed her but I survive Hera was very mad with and she told to the titans, the titans killed me, they cut me into piece, but Rhea brought me back, from that day I become immortal and also I can bring dead from the underworld. In the winter I die and in the summer I return, bringing festivals, fruits and happiness to my followers.
