He brings happiness and salvation to those who accept him peacefully, death and eternal torture to those who do not.
Sound like a familiar long haired ,sandalled crusader we know? |
i knew about Dionysus being Zeus's son, however i didn't know the part about his being a prophet. that's quite fascinating.
