Q1: What was the main responsibility of Bacchus?
[Answer]

(The Greeks called him Dionysos.)

Bacchus was the god of wine and mystery.

Bacchus 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 Bacchus are a branch or stalk of fennel tipped with ivy leaves or sometimes a pine cone and a drinking vessel.
