Greek mythology from A to Z:

[D] - Dionysus (Διόνυσος) was the god of fertility and wine, later considered a patron of the arts. 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. 

The thought that you exist is so divinely blissful in itself that it is ridiculous to talk about the everyday sadness of separation – a week’s, ten days’ – what does it matter? since my whole life belongs to you.

— Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Véra

Odysseus: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.

Diomedes: What if it bites me and it dies?

Odysseus: That means you're poisonous. For the love of Athena, learn how to read.

Menelaus: What if it bites itself and I die?

Odysseus: That's voodoo.

Helen: What if it bites me and someone else dies?

Odysseus: That's correlation, not causation.

Penelope: What if we bite eachother and neither of us dies?

Agamemnon: That's kinky.

Odysseus: I'm out.

I keep thinking about the suggestion that Apollo hated Achilles so much because Achilles was literally just like him but mortal (blond, musical, good with a sword, talented at medicine) and he just didn't care for that.

Patroclus: I’ve been zoned out for the past two and a half hours.

Automedon: I got distracted about halfway through.

Achilles: Ignoring you was a conscious decision.
