Because of their shared functions as deities of war, Ares and Athena (often with the title Areia) could be worshiped together. A decree from the Attic deme of Acharnai (SEG 21 [1965] 519) shows that the demesmen, having consulted the oracle of Delphi, constructed new altars for the local sanctuary of Ares and Athena Areia. The sculpted scene on the inscription depicts Athena crowning a youthful Ares in hoplite armor. Several clues suggest that the worship of Ares and Enyalios was an ancient, if minor, institution among the Athenians. Solon is said to have founded a sanctuary of Enyalios, and the Athenian polemarchos, a magistrate who was responsible, among other things, for the funerals of the Athenian war dead, offered sacrifices to Artemis Agrotera and Enyalios. The Athenian ephebes swore an oath to protect their homeland with Enyalios, Enyo, Ares, Athena Areia, and other ancestral deities as witnesses. Though the oath is first explicitly attested in the fourth century, it probably dates back to the fifth or earlier; the preservation of the distinction between Enyalios and Ares is an archaic feature.

Dionysus Devotional Acts
My list of devotional acts
Exploring the woods, the orchards, the vineyards…
Caring for the lands, the trees, and the vegetation
Support nature overall - try to work with others, especially indigenous groups for sustainability.
Grow his other sacred plants - such as ivy. Maintain a garden in general.
Studying wine and viticulture, especially the wine cycle.
Crafting bindweed wreaths and lacing them in the trees
Supporting local beekeepers, and helping the insect flourish. Buy some honey to, it makes an excellent offering.
Partaking in viticulture and watching the vines grow
Collect fruits within orchards
Within the woods, observe - discover and learn about the wilderness of nature.
Collect pinecones
Weave baskets - for Dionysus within epithets is shown to have those be sacred to him (Dionysos Kistophoros)
Help and donate to big-cat conservation centres
Bare an ivy crown upon your head
Craft a Thyrsus - and carry the staff around.
Research and explore his worship in antiquity - there are many facets to his worship, after all. And take note of his festivals.
Create drinking cups, or paint your own, and preferably add amethyst into them.
Wear amethyst - whether that’s necklaces, pendants, etc.
Dance, let loose, even if it’s terrible. Simply have fun.
Wear masks. And in my opinion, for the modern day, venetian masks do best.
Gather clay, or whatever material, and make yourself a mask.
Theatre, express your deepest emotions, or possibly become another - He is the god of theatre, after all.
Watch old theatrical performances, indulge in musical theatre. Study the plays from long ago, in Ancient Greece.
Adore and learn to quote the Bacchae, and study the play extensively.
Go to parties. Have fun — most of all though, be safe.
Partake in banquets, have a cup of wine — if it’s legal — if not, opt for grape juice; and enjoy company with others.
Go to Pride and have some fun.
Support those that are recovering from addiction, especially alcoholism.
Donate to a centre that helps addicts. Support mental health.
Do self-care, work to liberate yourself from harmful things — it’ll all be okay in the end.
