This is background information.
Dionysus is the Greek god of wine-making, along with male fertility, ritural madness and other things. He is also known by Baccus by the Romans. His origins are sketchy but he is usually associated with Thrace which is a region mainly in Bulgaria, but includes parts of Greece and Turkey. It is said that people that follow his traits become possessed. He is a good subject for Dali, as is obvious.
