Dionysus's name tells us something about him!! * Must Read Post! *

Dionysus was the god of wine, agriculture, and fertility of nature, who is also the patron god of the Greek stage. On the other hand, Dionysus also represents the outstanding features of mystery religions, such as those practiced at Eleusis: ecstasy, personal delivery from the daily world through physical or spiritual intoxication, and initiation into secret rites. Scholars have long suspected that the god known as Dionysus is in fact a fusion of a local Greek nature god, and another more potent god imported rather late in Greek pre-history from Phrygia (the central area of modern day Turkey) or Thrace.

Could being the god of wine tell give us an insite into why Habbo gave out that very strabge message?

I don't think he made up a name to use its features several years later. So no, I don't think so.

But nice guess :)

He made the name years ago because of its humerous relation to wine, beer, spirits and any other alcholic beverages that come to mind :D

His name is taken from his favorite, but also very boring/failed band... Dionysus

Rrrright, or Dionysus just sound's cool, even though it doesn't and he's the god of wine and agriculture, should have chosen a norse god like Loki or at least a good greek god like aphrodite.
