Zagreus

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Zagreus was a god sometimes identified with an Orphic form of Dionysus who was dismembered by the Titans and subsequently reborn. In the earliest surviving reference to him he is paired with Gaia and called the highest god, apparently among the gods of the underworld, and the poet Aeschylus links him closely with Hades, at times naming him a son of Hades and at times treating him as another name for Hades himself. Modern scholars such as Timothy Gantz have proposed that Zagreus began as a son of Hades and Persephone before later Orphic tradition merged him with Dionysus, son of Zeus and Persephone, producing the dismemberment and rebirth myth by which he later became best known.
