What are some legacies we have today that were from the god Dionysus

History

Tanya [424]3 years ago
3 0

Dionysus was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. He created wine and spread the art of viticulture. He had a dual nature; on one hand, he brought joy and divine ecstasy; or he would bring brutal and blinding rage, thus reflecting the dual nature of wine. Dionysus and his followers could not be bound by fetters.

Dionysus was the son of Zeus and Semele, and he was the only god with a mortal parent. Zeus went to Semele in the night, unseen by human eyes, but could be felt as a divine presence. Semele was pleased to be the lover of a god, even though she did not know which one. Word soon got around and Hera quickly assumed who was responsible. She went to Semele in disguise and convinced her she should see her lover as he really was. When Zeus visited her again, she made him promise to grant her one wish. She went so far as to make him swear on the River Styx that he would grant her request. Zeus was madly in love and agreed. She then asked him to show her his true form. Zeus was unhappy knowing what was about to happen, but bound by his oath, he had no choice. He appeared in his true form and Semele was instantly burnt to a crisp by the sight of his glory. Zeus managed to rescue the fetal Dionysus and stitched him into his thigh until he would be ready to be born. His birth from Zeus conferred immortality upon him.

Hera, still jealous of Zeus' infidelity and the fact that Dionysus was alive, arranged for the Titans to kill him. The Titans ripped him to pieces; however, Rhea brought him back to life. After this, Zeus arranged for his protection and gave him to the mountain nymphs to be raised.

List the ways that technology and social media have changed after WWII.
AVprozaik [17]

Technology after WWll advanced greatly due to entering the atomic age. Following the bombings on Hiroshima and nagasaki, the U.S. entered the war in Vietnam where we used napalm bombs to burn down the forest because we found out that the Vietnamese were hiding in the trees. Then a couple years later the Cold War started and the U.S. built a huge amount of nuclear weapons at the same time that the Soviet Union was building nuclear weapons luckily we didn’t break out into war but there were a couple of times where we almost did. Now social media changed after WWll by creating even more political cartoons describing everything that’s happening in a single comic strip. Nowadays the whole world makes memes about previous and current wars that had happened or are happening right now.

Describe with reference to two factors the importance of coins as sources of History?​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Coins are as important as the inscription in history. They confirm the information derived from literature. They are of various metals: gold, silver, copper, or alloy and contain legends or simple marks. Those with dates are probably very valuable for the framework of Indian chronology.

I think This is the ans but I am not sure.

Which best describes the Voting Rights Act of 1965?
MaRussiya [10]

<em>D. It protected voting rights for all Americans by taking away qualifications.</em>

Explanation:

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was very important and ensured voting rights for African American citizens. Before the Voting Rights Act, it proved to be very difficult to vote if you were African American or a non-English citizen.

The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. The main problem appeared to be in the South, as many people still held prejudice towards African Americans. Many white Southerners did not want them to vote, as they were scared that they would vote for someone in power that would better the livelihoods of African Americans.

In order to keep African Americans from voting, white Southerners would enact literacy tests and poll taxes. During this time, it was hard for black citizens to obtain a proper education and many did not know how to read or write, so they would fail the literacy tests. Most of the time they did not have enough money for the poll taxes either.

Eventually, the Voting Rights Act was passed and it got rid of these qualifications that were needed, so it was easier for people to vote.
