...two are the forces most precious to mankind. The first is Demeter, the Goddess. She is the Earth -- or any name you wish to call her --  and she sustains humanity with solid food. Next came Dionysus, the son of the virgin,  bringing the counterpart to bread: wine and the blessings of life's flowing juices. His blood, the blood of the grape, lightens the burden of our mortal misery. Though himself a God, it is his blood we pour out to offer thanks to the Gods. And through him, we are blessed.

― Euripides, The Bacchae
