Dionysus the Thracian god of wine and fertility and a major figure from Greek mythology. He represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficial influences.

He was also known as Bacchus and the frenzy he induces, bakcheia. He is the patron deity of agriculture and the theatre. He was also known as the Liberator (Eleutherios), freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine. The divine mission of Dionysus was to mingle the music of the aulos and to bring an end to care and worry.
The plaque has a metal hook in the back for easy hanging.
