Is there a Norse god who fills a similar role to Dionysos?
The Norse did not have theatre nor wine. There is no god of mead or beer as far as I know. There is no god or goddess of festivities I think but I'm happy to be proven wrong!

The #AventineTriad, #Ceres, #Liber and #Libera, honored in the ancient temple on the #roman #AventineHill

Interesting is the connection within the triad between #Ceres (#Demeter), #Liber (#Dionysos) and #Libera (#Kore/#Persephone or #Ariadne) deities of the earth and the underworld and given the greek myths related.
