Origins

It was taught in Athens that the flesh of the infant Dionysos was devoured by the Titans, whom Zeus smote with the Thunderbolt in his fury. From the ash, Prometheus worked a clay, and made an image of the gods and goddesses in it, one for each. Upon this image Athena gave the breath of life, and from it came our race: man and woman. We are all Dionysos, of His flesh, as well as Titanic. Death and rebirth- this is our origin and our fate.
