ElKON OP THE DIONYSOS OF HEEODOTOS. The Dionysos of Herodotos is a divinity of wide- spread and extended sway. In Eam, he appears as XJasar; in Arabia, as Orotal; in Asia Minor, as Sabazios ; while he is found alike in Phoenicia, Skythia, Thrake, and Hellas, ffis mysteries and sufferings are similarly commemorated on the circular lake of Sa, in the tragic choruses of Sikyon, and at the sacred shrine of Eleusis. Nysa, far in the Outer-world, is his early home ; and Kadmos and his Phoenician comp...anions first intro- duced the Dionysiak cult into continental Hellas, where it was adopted by the illustrious seer Melampous.
