Dionysos navnedag, 3/10 &
17/12,
- vinguden, dette må feires, Jamas!
The nameday of Dionysos,
3/10 & 17/12,
- the god of wine, - we must celebrate; Jamas!
Dionysos
var gud for vindruer og vin og for fruktbarhet. Han var sønn av
Zeus og Semele, datter til kong Kadmos av Trakia.
Greske
Viner
Retsina er min favoritt!
Men det finnes mange skikkelige viner i Hellas. Mange har fått utmerkelser
også i utlandet!
Enda et Jamas til Dionysos han som ga oss
vinen i gave!
Husker du historein om kong Midas? Han hadde
tatt så godt vare på Seilenos og det var Dionysos takknemmelig
for.
Han oppsøkte Midas og sa at han skulle få ett ønske oppfylt.
Midas svarte;
"Gis alt jeg rører ved blir til gull!"
Var det et overveiet ønske?
OK kanskje med gull møbler, klær m.m. men
hva om din kjære blir til gull, maten og drikken blir ubrukelig
...
Midas ropte på hjelp og Dionysos ba ham bade
i Paktolos elven,
- siden da har den elven vært gullførende!
Hvor den er?
Nei, det sier jeg ikke!

Dionysos
was the god of grapevine and wine and for fertility. He was the
son of Zeus and Semele, the daughter of king Kadmos of Trakia.
Greek
Wine
Retsina is my favorite!
But here are many very good wines in Greece. Many of them has won prices
also abroad!
Another Jamas to Dionysos who
"gave" us the wine!
Do you remember the story about
king Midas? He had taken very good care of Seilenos and Dionysos
was so happy about that.
He went to see Midas and told him that he would have one wish
granted, Midas answered;
"I wish that all I will touch will become gold!"
Was that a wise wish?
OK maybe furniture and clothes
turning to gold, but what when your loved ones does, the food, the
wine all useless...
Midas cried out for help and
Dionysos told him to take a bath in the Paktolos river - since
then that river has been giving gold!
Where it is?
No, I will not tell you that!

From
the Wikipedia;
There were twelve Olympians, although you may run across
fourteen different names. Hestia,
Demeter,
Dionysus,
and Hades
are variable. The remaining ten are: Apollo,
Ares,
Hermes,
Hephaestus,
Poseidon,
and Zeus,
among the gods; Aphrodite,
Athena,
Artemis,
and Hera,
among the goddesses.
The Roman versions of the Greek names are:
Apollo, Mars, Mercury, Vulcan, Neptune, and Jupiter, among the
canonical males; Venus, Minerva, Diana, and Juno, among the
canonical females.
