| ENT_DIONYSUS | SRC_HOMER_ILIAD_ODYSSEY | direct attestation | Dionysus is mentioned in the Iliad (VI.130-140: the Lycurgus story, where Dionysus flees in terror and Thetis protects him; XIV.325: in the catalogue of Zeus's loves); he does not play a major narrative role but his Homeric attestation is important evidence for his early presence in the Greek pantheon |
