In his reconstruction of the story, however, Lobeck made extensive use of the fifth-century CE epic of Nonnos, who does use the name Zagreus, and later scholars followed his cue. As Linforth noticed, 'It is a curious thing that the name Zagreus does not appear in any Orphic poem or fragment, nor is it used by any author who refers to Orpheus.' Radcliffe Edmonds says: "Lobeck 1892 seems to be responsible for the use of the name Zagreus for the Orphic Dionysos. They deposited them in a sacred cave on the isle and instituted the Samothrakian Mysteries in his honour.Īccording to Timothy Gantz, "Orphic sources preserved seem not to use the name "Zagreus", and according to Martin West, the "name was probably not used in the Orphic narrative". In another tale, the genitals of Sabazius were recovered by the Kabeiroi gods of Samothrake. From the drink she conceived the younger Dionysos, as a reincarnation of the first. Zeus recovered the child's heart and making it into a potion, fed it to one of his many lovers: Semele. Stories from the Orphic Hymns has the Titans, who were opposed to Zeus' power, Titans snuck into Olympos, take the child to the woods and beguile him with toys, then dismembered him and consumed the child except for his heart. Very little is known about the background of the Orphic Dionysus aside from the fact that he was regarded as the child of Zeus and Persephone. In the Orphics, Dionysus is generally referred to as Sabazius or Eubuleus (Which was an epithet for Hades) if he's not referred to as Dionysus. The only recorded instance where Zagreus is used as a name for the Orphic Dionysus is in Nonnos' Dionysiacas. He was later equated with the Orphic Dionysus, who was regarded as the "first-born Dionysus." According to Orphic hymns, he was the son of Zeus and Persephone, who Zeus seduced in the form of a drakon (dragon-like serpent), though an Aeschylus fragment from the 5th century BCE claims that Hades was his father. He loves and cared for Cerberus greatly.Zagreus was an Underworld God of the Orphic mysteries.

He holds his mentor,Achilles in high esteeem as he was the person who taught him how to fight using different weapons. He also (possiblly) doesn't hold grudges to Megaera for killing him countless times simple because he knew she was simply doing her job. He is also very forgiving as he accepted the apology from Nyx(whom had lied to him about being his mother).
Which can be seen when he make quips and one-liners toward the many wretches of the Underworld who stood in his way. Zagreus is a person who is calm and has a dry sense of humour. For the Fates work in mysterious ways, and defy prediction remember that.' Personality Best not to spoil the surprises that the Fates may have in store for you, if you ask me. At other times, however, your attempts to glean the future shall be thwarted. Sometimes, herein, you may find traces of the weavings of the Fates. You are most bold, or most unwise, to have been digging through these arcane texts, or to have gleaned the knowledge from someone who has. And, indeed, Zagreus took well to the martial ways, and I am proud to say now that he was my student. One day I took him on as a disciple, under orders from Lord Hades the Master worried that his heir lacked any firm direction in his life. He never seemed to like it much, there, growing up within Lord Hades' well-appointed house. Take one look at him and I think any questions of his parentage are soon resolved. These battles, combined with the dangerous landscape of the Underworld, always serve to bring a painful end to Zagreus' escape attempts sooner or later. He is mostly faced with various aggressive shades working for his father, but he also has run-ins with the Fury Megaera, and with the skeletal remains of the Lernean Hydra. Zagreus is met with numerous obstacles throughout the realms of Tartarus and Asphodel. He's aided and encouraged in his journey primarily by his caretaker Nyx and his mentor Achilles, with others outside the House of Hades, such as Sisyphus, Charon, and the Olympian Gods, sometimes offering their aid as well. Zagreus has always had a sense that he doesn't belong in the House of Hades recently, he has decided, against his father's will, to escape from the Underworld no matter how many tries it might take him.
