![]() ![]() One year when the sacrifice happened theseus decided and planned to kill the minotaur which made ariadne fall head over heals for theseus, so ariadne decided to give theseus a sword and a ball of thread (ariadne's thread) so he can find his way out of the minotaur's labyrinth, so in the meanwhile she joined theseus on his journey but (in homer's) "theseus had no affection for her" Artemis hurt her in seagirt Dia because she saw dionysus. Minos attacked athens because of the death of his son, the athenians decided to ask if they could sacrifice seven young men and women to the minotaur (Ariadne's half-sibling) every seven (or nine) years. Mycenaean Dionysus was the son of zeus and another woman (Not persephone or semele), MYC-Dionysus was born but he was abandoned by civilization then raised by nature (which explains his wine relations), in portrayal he is seen being much older and sporting a beard (Possibly horns).Īriadne and Dionysus In Minos and Theseus In another version of the same story Dionysus was the son of Hades and persephone, there was not much of zagreus' birth but it was stated that he had some relations to gaia (Possibly romantic/sexual) and being the god of all gods (ONCE, possibly) Zeus was planning on making orphic-dionysus in becoming king of olympus, but hera heard about this and as livid as she is sent the titans to kill (Dismember) orphic-dionysus, while orphic-dionysus was distracted with toys (and a mirror) the titans dismembered him, meanwhile in the process the titans roasted, boiled and ate him raw of every body part of baby orphic-dionysus, however athena managed to save the heart of orphic-dionysus then zeus gave the heart to semele so she can consume it and give birth again to orphic-dionysus (He is seen sporting horns). ![]() In another version of the same story Dionysus was a son of Zeus and Persephone the king of the olympians and queen of the underworld, zeus disguised himself as a serpent and raped persephone which led her being pregnant with orphic-dionysus, then dionysus was taken in to mount ida to be raised by the dancing curetes. Zeus found an unborn Dionysus, and decided to sew him in his thigh. Mortals however cannot look upon a god without dying and she perished. Although Zeus begged her not to ask this, she persisted and he eventually agreed. ![]() Curious, Semele demanded of Zeus that he reveal himself in all his glory as proof of his godhood. Hera pretended not to believe her and planted seeds of doubt in Semele's mind. Hera befriended Semele, who confided in her that her husband was actually Zeus. Zeus's wife Hera, a jealous and vain goddess, discovered the affair while Semele was pregnant, appearing as an old crone (in other stories a nurse). Dionysus had an unusual birth that evokes the difficulty in fitting him into the Olympian pantheon, as his mother was Semele (Daughter of Cadmus), a mortal woman, and his father Zeus, the king of the gods. ![]()
