| 1414 | Dionysus ENT_DIONYSUS | received_as | Demons ENT_CHR_DEMONS | medium | Justin Martyr (1 Apol. 25, 54) explicitly names Dionysus as a demon-promoted deity and argues that the myth of the dying-and-rising Dionysus was a demonic anticipatory counterfeit of the resurrection — Satan foreknew the resurrection and seeded Dionysus mythology to make it seem derivative.
