Dionysiaka - Dionysus-tan (English spelling)
A long epic poem by the 5th century Greek poet Nonnos. It consists of 48 volumes. It is a collection of stories about Dionysus (Bacchus), the god of wine in Greek mythology, and is divided into four parts: his birth and youth (volumes 1-12), his expedition to India (volumes 13-24), his battles with the Indians (volumes 25-40), and his triumphant return to Greece and his return to heaven (volumes 41-48). It is a story of the love and adventures of Dionysus, but it is also a valuable resource for research on the legend of the god of wine and other religions of the time.
