扎格柔斯或譯為扎格列欧斯、扎格留斯（Zagreus，），有時祂被認定為俄耳甫斯教信徒所膜拜的神祇，是最初的酒神，乃宙斯與珀耳塞福涅所生之子，曾遭受提坦的支解並且又獲重生。最早提及扎格柔斯的神話中，祂與大地女神蓋亞是婚配關係並被尊為“至高”之神，不過有可能僅僅在指祂是冥界神祇中地位崇高者。然而埃斯庫羅斯卻把黑帝斯與扎格柔斯關係作了聯繫，認為祂可能為黑帝斯之子，亦或與黑帝斯是同一尊神祇。值得注意的是“黑帝斯被認定成宙斯在陰間的另一神格（Hades' identity as Zeus' katachthonios alter ego）”，有「陰間宙斯」稱號，（Timothy Gantz）則假設最初扎格柔斯可能是黑帝斯與珀耳塞福涅之子，後來與俄耳甫斯教神祇狄俄倪索斯（本身為宙斯和珀耳塞福涅之子）身分等同。

詞源 
有關扎格柔斯原文──Zagreus的來源，正如同（Karl Kerényi）根據赫西丘斯訓詁（the Hesychian gloss）所解釋的那樣：愛奧尼亞希臘語中捕捉活獵物的獵人被稱為zagreus，而zagre這字根其意思是“捕捉活獵物的坑（pit for the capture of live animals）”。克雷尼這麼說道“我們可以合理來質問，為何如此神話般偉大獵人，乃野生動物捕捉者而非屠殺者，到希臘卻轉變成冥界的神秘神靈呢？（We may justifiably ask, why was this great mythical hunter, who in Greece became a mysterious god of the underworld, a capturer of wild animals and not a killer?）”克雷尼也將扎格柔斯形象與古老酒神儀式聯繫起來，認為小動物遭肢解被生啖其肉，“此非希臘酒神教派作風，而是史前宗教儀式轉化或遺留之習俗（not as an emanation of the Greek Dionysian religion, but rather as a migration or survival of a prehistoric rite）”。

古希臘宗教觀的冥界 

早期僅於亡佚作品的片段中有提及扎格柔斯，當中已將希臘冥界與扎格柔斯做了連結。最早是出現於《》（Alcmeonis，西元前六世紀？）單獨引述的詩句：

中譯：大地之母〔蓋亞〕，以及諸神中至尊扎格柔斯。原文英譯：Mistress Earth [Gaia], and Zagreus highest of all the gods.

也許此處是指祂乃冥界最高神。

顯然地，對於埃斯庫羅斯而言扎格柔斯實質上就是冥界神靈。在埃斯庫羅斯失傳劇作《西西弗斯》（Sisyphus，約西元前五世紀）當中的一段詩句談到，扎格柔斯似乎是黑帝斯之子，但在埃斯庫羅另一作品《埃及人》（Aigyptioi）裡，扎格柔斯看來又被認為與黑帝斯是同一尊神祇。從歐里庇得斯遺佚劇作《克里特人》（Cretan Men or Kretes）片段中，歌隊將他們自己描述為宙斯（希臘神話中，伊達山有一處宙斯出生的穴窟──伊达洞府〔Idaean Cave〕，此山被視作祂母親提坦既時光女神──雷亞聖地）啟蒙者以及“夜遊扎格柔斯，執行祂生肉盛宴（night-ranging Zagreus, performing his feasts of raw flesh）”儀式的司祭。

俄耳甫斯教的狄俄倪索斯·扎格柔斯 

在歐里庇得斯斷章殘篇中所述的扎格柔斯讓人聯想到宙斯和塞墨勒（Semele）之子──酒神狄俄倪索斯，事實上，儘管“扎格柔斯”並沒有出現在俄耳甫斯教發源地（色雷斯）的任何一處，但此名號在其他地方已被認定就是俄耳甫斯教的狄俄倪索斯（同體異名），而且其神話傳說與其他普遍流傳的版本截然不同。此尊狄俄倪索斯乃宙斯與珀耳塞福涅之子，在嬰兒時期，祂慘遭提坦迫害及肢解，而後又重生成為宙斯和塞墨勒之子。

大眾文化 

2020年由超級巨人遊戲工作室發行的電玩《黑帝斯》遊戲內容，扎格柔斯被設定成本作主角。遊戲中，作為黑帝斯之子的扎格柔斯（遊戲中文版翻譯為扎格列歐斯）試圖逃出冥界去尋找母親珀耳塞福涅，並了解其母離開的原因。
