for the record my previous post contained epithets that apparently aren't real, however i like them so they are staying but you should know.

Hello!! I'm just curious but do you know any epithets of Dionysus that pertain to love? for ex. with Ariadne, Ampelos, or any of his lovers?

Khaire, and thanks for asking!

To my knowledge, no, unfortunately.

But, there is his epithet Cre'sius, a surname of his at Argos, where he had a temple in which it is said Ariadne was said to be buried.

That is unfortunately all I could find about any epithets relating to Ariadne or any of his loves.

I'd also like to say I'm not too well-versed on a lot of his epithets as there are a lot, so I'm hoping this helps at least a little!

*If I am wrong and there are more, please feel free to put them in reblogs, replies or tags!
