Dionysius Myths

A collection of outlandish stories about the patron god of the theatre, wine, and revelry.

The Lute of Apollo

According to legend, Dionysius stole a lute from Apollo himself, only to have it stolen back by a band of thieving satyrs.

Dionysius's love of wine is the stuff of legend, but did he really drink the whole of the city's supply? The people of Athens will never tell.

Where did the dreams of the gods go wrong? Was it a cursed production, or just a bad night's sleep?
