Dionysus is a Heroic Age Greek minor god in Age of Mythology. He is available to worshipers of Zeus and Poseidon.

  Dionysia All units have +5% hit points.
  Thracian Horses Cavalry have +20% hit points.
  Chthonic Rites Hydrai and Scyllai regenerate hit points.

  Hydra A tough melee unit, the Hydra grows heads as it deals damage. Each head increases the Hydra's attack.

Gameplay

Dionysus generally focuses on land unit survivability and naval power. He grants all units a small hit point bonus, but increases cavalry hit points by a quarter, making these quite tough units last even longer. The unit that benefits the most however is the Titan; the Cerberus receives a +350 HP bonus, which if combined with Hera's Monstrous Rage technology allows Zeus players to have the most powerful Titan in the game. He also increases many attributes for Pentekonters. This makes them more efficient at chasing and destroying enemy ships, as well as allowing them to be trained faster. Dionysus' god power again helps units to live longer by increasing their armor, and may affect ships as well. The Hydra and Scylla, his two myth units, gain attack as they kill enemies. A five-headed Hydra or Scylla is quite a terrifying enemy to encounter.

Mythology

"The god of wine, the theater, agriculture, the fertility of nature, and mysteries, he is usually seen with grape vines, ivy, or a panther. Unlike most Greek gods, who are normally portrayed as bright creatures of the light, Dionysus is mysterious and shadowy. His followers revel in mad behavior, drunkenness, and death. Because of his differences, Dionysus may have been a melding of Greek and Asian attributes. He was the patron of the Maenads, wild women who worshipped him and roamed the mountains shouting and hunting wild animals. He was also the patron of mystery cults, of which we know very little today. The greatest mystery associated with Dionysus is that at one point he was believed slain, but then reborn, a very unusual circumstance for an immortal god."
