The young son of Zeus and Semele also known as god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and religious ecstasy decided to celebrate his special day a little earlier this year, since he is currently busy directing and writing a few new plays for the summer theatre season that is coming soon and will be performing in Athens the day of.

 So Dionysus and a bunch of his Olympian's friends and some family gathered together over the weekend for a blowout birthday bash in Athens.

Dionysus and his pals went to a wild garden full of exotics animals where they partied all night. On saturday morning Dionysus and his siblings Ares, Athena, Apollo,Artemis, Aphrodite, Hebe,Hermes, Heracles, Helen, Hephaestus, Perseus, Minos, the Muses and the Graces went on a road trip back to Mount Olympus where they continued to celebrate this time with their parents and familiars. Some of his nearest and dearest that joined in on the fun were his beloved girlfriend Ariadne, best friends Phaedra, Catreus, Deucalion,Glaucus and Androgeus and others famous stars such as writers, actors and others rich kids.

His brother Apollo also posted a lovely photo with the soon-to-be birthday boy with a sweet message on a social page. "I can't believe he's nearly 23, i remember when we were just kids trying to look as great as daddy. I love you so much bro count on me forever and always xxxx" he wrote. what a cutie!!!!

Few hours later Dionysus posted on his personal network "What a great night with the lads! Thanks everyone for coming to celebrate my 23rd with me! Had a great weekend with friends and family," the god seems to be happy and we from Greek n' geeks wishes him the best! A massive Happy early birthday, Dionysus.
