Events perpetrated during the festival of this god include the capture of Phialeia by former exiles, the capture of Smyrna by Colophonian exiles, and the killing of Clearchus, the tyrant of Heracleia. Herodotus claims this god and Zeus were the only gods worshiped in Meroe, and he was associated with Osiris in Egypt. The Homeric Hymn to this god claims he was born on Mount Nysa in Phoenicia, springing from his father's thigh after his mother had foolishly asked to see his father in all his glory. This god granted the ill-conceived Midas touch, and it was for this god that Hestia gave up her seat on Olympus. For ten points, name this Greek god of wine.
