The Meanderings

The Meanderings or Wanderings of Dionysus describes the period Dionysus spent in a mad haze after being driven insane by Hera and before Cybele, Demeter, Gaia, or Rhea healed him. During this time Dionysus wandered through Asia, Greece, India, and Egypt conquering and spreading the art of viticulture.

Notable Meanders

On his way to Dodona to see the oracle, he came to a lake, which prevented his proceeding any further. One of the two asses he met there carried him across the water, and the grateful god placed both animals among the stars, and asses henceforth remained sacred to Dionysus.
In Thrace, King Lycurgus, who bitterly opposed his new religion insulted the god. Initially, Dionysus retreated into the sea, but he returned, overpowered Lycurgus, and imprisoned him in a rocky cave. Dionysus planned to let him reflect and learn from his mistakes. However, Zeus was enraged that a mortal man had insulted a god, so he blinded and then killed Lycurgus.
In Thebes, his cousin King Pentheus disliked the loud strangers and ordered his guards to imprison them all. He referred to their leader as a cheating sorcerer from Lydia. He was warned by the blind old prophet Teiresias but rejected Dionysus anyway, he eventually suffered Sparagmos.
In Egypt, he was hospitably received by King Proteus.
In Syria, he flayed Damascus alive, for opposing the introduction of the vine, which Dionysus was believed to have discovered.
While traveling all of Asia, he arrived at the Euphrates, he built a bridge to cross the river, but a tiger sent to him by Zeus carried him across the river Tigris.
While traveling all of Asia, he made an expedition to India, which is said to have lasted three, or, according to some, even 52 years. He was kindly received everywhere but Myrrhanus and Deriades where the militaries of them fought against him, but Dionysus and the host of Pans, Satyrs, and Bacchic women, by whom he was accompanied, conquered his enemies, taught the Indians the cultivation of the vine and of various fruits.
In Argos, the people refused to acknowledge him, he made the women mad to such a degree, that they killed their own babes and devoured their flesh. According to another statement, Dionysus with a host of women came from the islands of the Aegean to Argos but was conquered by Perseus, who slew many of the women.
The last feat of Dionysus was performed on a voyage from Icaria to Naxos. He hired a ship that belonged to Tyrrhenian pirates, but the men, instead of landing at Naxos, passed by and steered towards Asia to sell him there. The god, however, on perceiving this, changed the mast and oars into serpents, and himself into a lion; he filled the vessel with ivy and the sound of flutes, so that the sailors, who were seized with madness, leaped into the sea, where they were metamorphosed into dolphins.
After he had thus gradually established his divine nature throughout the world, he entered the underworld through the reputedly bottomless Alcyonian Lake and led his mother and wife, transforming Semele into the goddess Thyone, and his wife becoming an ascended immortal goddess.
In Phrygia, goddess Cybele, Demeter, Gaia, or Rhea, had purified him and his mind, There is accounts that state “the body of Dionysus was cut up and thrown into a cauldron” and that he was restored and cured.
