Yes, indeed. And I advise every one of you to read those stories yourselves and not take anyone's word for what these stories purportedly say. Iliad is mainly about the Trojan War (primarily Achilles vs. Hector), and the Odyssey is about the adventures of Odysseus on his way back from Troy. Beautiful stories. Other Greek mythology stories are fun to read as well.
I'm familiar with both stories. I was simply pointingnout that is the first appearance of Dionysus and that it predates Jesus.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
