Q1: What was the main responsibility of Dionysos?

[Answer]

(The Romans called him Bacchus.)

Dionysos was the god of wine and mystery.

Dionysos was the god of wine and madness, vegetation, and the theatre, and was the focus of various mystery cults.

Symbols that tell you that a sculpture is of Dionysos are a branch or stalk of fennel tipped with ivy leaves or sometimes a pine cone.
