Statue of Dionysus in Korinth

Dionysus, also called Bacchus, is a Greek and Roman god of wine and grapes, theater, fertility, and religious or ritualistic ecstasy. He is regarded by some as one of the Twelve Gods, the major deities of the Greek pantheon.

He was often depicted with a thiasus, a retinue that included Dionysus' own maenads and nymphs. [citation needed]

During the 5th century BCE in Greece, statues depicting Dionysos were often located near vineyards, like the one on Markos' vineyard, and taverns. [1]
