Dionysus, who has a human face with the characteristics of a god, is the son of Zeus, who carried him on his calf. He is the child of Semeles, who died by lightning. Dionysus represents madness and wine in Greek mythology. Hera attempted to murder him many times. Zeus' child from Semele, Dionysus, was kidnapped because of Hera's jealousy. She tried to tear him apart and cook the pieces of his body in a cauldron. Rhea, the grandmother of Dionysus, put the body parts of her grandson back together and brought him back to life. Dionysus wanted to hide from Hera. He first disguised himself as a girl and started to live with his aunt Ino and her husband Athamas. When Hera found out that the child was alive, she drove Ino crazy and prepared a sad ending for her. Ino drowned her own son in boiling water and shot her husband thinking he was a deer. The jealous Hera did not let Dionysus go, Zeus kidnapped his son and left him to grow up among the nymphs on Mount Nysa as a goat. He learned about wine and winemaking on Mount Nysa, and in fact, he was the one who invented wine. He traveled from land to land with nymphs and satyrs to show this exhilarating drink to people around the world. This is how the journey of wine and winemaking is described in Greek mythology. Dionysus is also known as an outlier god. He is the main protagonist of stories which are often about resistance and reaction. Vine tree symbolizes Dionysus. Just like a vine tree, the god of wine disappears and comes back to earth and remains a traveler between pleasure and pain. The connection between the wine god and his feelings are just like wine: the unity of sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. Dionysus is also the symbol of madness, and it is also believed that just as the taste of sour, sweet, salty, and bitter is felt in the mouth, the taste of his wine and winemaking is felt on the lands on which he walked.
