The story of Dionysus

Did he have siblings?

Dionysus has many siblings but I'm only going to mention a few. His siblings are Apollo, Ares, Hephaestus, Hercules, Hermes, Artemis, Athena, Eileithyia, Eris, Hebe, and Aphrodite.

One day Dionysus was in his favorite form; a yong man dripping with jewels. A band of pirates saw him as a valuable hostage so they took Dionysus hostage. They tied up Dionysus very tightly. Dionysus laughed. Dionysus changed form and escaped, but they tied him back up. One of the pirates saw that he was a God and he insisted that they let him go, but the pirates ignored him. Sea weed then sprang up from the sea and wrapped around the ship. Dionysus transformed into a lion. He threw and tore pirates off the ship. He left the pirate that realized it was him and insisted on his freedom live. He commanded the pirate to take him back to shore. When they arrived he saw Ariane and instantly fell in love.
