Did you know that there was a #god that is claimed to be a previous version of Dionysios?

The #Phrygian people were nomads that settled in Anatolia. They brought their pantheon, including a god named Sabazios.

He was a god of #agriculture, teaching humans how to cultivate plants.
His followers would #dance & get #drunk.

#Ancient #Greeks equated Sabazios to Dionysos.

It was said that Sabazios was ripped apart by #Titans & reassembled as the Greek god of #wine.
