The trying circumstances of Dionysus' birth are discussed in this episode of the eight-film series on Greek mythology. The programs are filmed on-location in Greece, with narration provided by Sir Peter Ustinov, and give a thought-provoking look at the beliefs of the ancient Greeks. Dionysus' main gift to the mortals was wine, and this episode features the stories in which he played an important part. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
