Note 161 — Chapter V · DIONYSUS THE MYTHICAL GOD

Reading edition

Dr. W. H. Roscher, in a deeply interesting little pamphlet entitled, Nektar und Ambrosia (Leipzig, 1883), says that it is possible that Dionysus should be regarded originally not as the god of wine but of mead. See p. 10: “Möglicherweise ist Dionysos ursprünglich als Gott nicht des Weines, sondern des Methes aufzufassen.”
