Dionysos is the central saving deity of the Bacchic-Orphic mysteries and the reborn form of the child dismembered by the Titans. After Athena preserves the heart of the murdered Zagreus, the god comes to life again - variously by Zeus swallowing the heart and refathering him, or by his birth from Semele - and is worshipped as Bakchios, Lysios ('the Releaser') and Eubouleus. In the gold-tablet liturgy the initiate declares to Persephone that 'Bakchios himself has released you', invoking the god's power to loosen the burden of the ancestral Titanic guilt and secure a blessed afterlife among the heroes. The many Orphic Hymns addressed to Dionysos under his several aspects - Bassareus, Lenaios, Perikionios, Trietericos, Liknites, Amphietes - reflect the density of his cult within the tradition. He is simultaneously the god whose suffering explains the mixed nature of humankind and the god whose mysteries offer humankind its redemption.
