Epithets

The names of gods and goddesses are often accompanied by a finite number of traditional epithets that describe the personality or associations of the divinity. Below is a list of epithets and their Greek equivalents associated with Dionysus. Students should do their own investigation for the epithets of Dionysus and then add their findings to this chart. Students can then form a better understanding of how the Greeks and other cultures viewed the nature of their gods and goddesses from the list of epithets they create and to which they add.
