Zagreus, Zagreus, Zagreus. What a mess of a story. It’s gross, it’s weird, it’s both an afterthought and supremely important. Welcome to the story of thrice born Dionysus, better known as Zagreus. CW/TW: **this episode includes particularly egregious assault and incest, even for Greek myth** far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it’s fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I’m not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
