Dionysus a.k.a. Mr D.


Wazzup Pilipinas! 

Dionysus one of the half-blooded gods in Greek mythology. What's a half-blood? A half-blood is a god that has one god parent and a mortal parent. In this case, Dionysus' god parent was Zeus and Semele was his mortal parent. If you'll ask them if it's fun to be a god, 99.99% of them will say "no".

"What will you do with immortality if you're not eternally happy?"

Dionysus is one of the gods with a ridiculous birth. He was born twice so they call him "The Twice-born" because when Semele died while Dionysus was still in her womb, Zeus get the baby Dionysus and place him in his thigh and sewed his thigh back. Crazy isn't it? Many of the gods are also born with ridiculous birth. Like Zeus' siblings, Cronus ate them because of the oracle that says that his children will persuade him in his throne and they will rule.


Has anybody watched or already read the series Percy Jackson and the Olympian series? Dionysus is present there! Mr. D, the person who is cool and happy-go-lucky. Isn't that awesome?!

To remind you guys, the next Percy Jackson movie will be showing maybe in August. So stay tuned!
