Dionysus in the Homeric Hymn
In the Hymn to Dionysus, he almost reminds me of the Christian God. The way he first appears as a young man to the pirates could resemble the story of Jesus coming to Earth in human form. Then, the way that he shows them his power with the act of breaking himself out of the shackles could be compared to the times when Jesus performed miracles as told in the New Testament of the Bible. Finally, when Dionysus reveals himself as a God at the end of the hymn by growing the vines and turning the men into dolphins, yet still saving the helmsman who believed he was a god in the beginning, it resembles the example of the "merciful God" that is described in the Bible that saves those that believe in Him. There are many similarities between all religions, because most religions have the same principles. In this story, though, Dionysus's mannerisms and attitudes reminded me a lot of the stories I've heard in the Bible about a wrathful God punishing most but saving those that believe in His power.
