Dionysus (Greco-Roman Mythology)/Apex Predator GX

## Summary

Dionysus is the god wine, vegetation, pleasure, madness, Illusions, phantoms, festivity, epiphany, and wild frenzy. His first incarnation, Zagreus, was born from Zeus and Persephone but was ripped apart by Titans sent by Hera. Zeus was able to recover his heart and made it into a potion for the mortal woman Semele to drink. Semele became pregnant but was skeptical of Zeus' divinity and Zeus, showing his true form, incinerated her and left the new baby, Dionysus. He was sewn into his father's leg where he finished being developed. It is debated as to whether Dionysus or Hestia holds the 12th seat in Mount Olympus.
