it is also well known that in the Greco Roman world Dionysus was frequently identified with Yahweh, the god of the Jews.
The identity of Dionysos as Yahweh had in fact already been raised by Plutarch sometime in the first century A.D.
There, in Plutarch's work, some similarities are supplied between the Bacchanalian festivals held in honor of Bacchus, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Dionysos, and certain Jewish celebrations.
Among these was mentioned the Jewish Fast held at the height of the vintage during which tables were furnished with all sorts of fruits beneath booths.
A few days later, another feast was celebrated which was actually alluded to as a festival of Bacchus.
During another celebration, the jews were wont to call up their god through the use of little trumpets, just as the Argives did during their Dionysia.
And, as told in Plutarch's work, "their festival of the Sabbath is not altogether unrelated to Dionysus; for even now many call the Bacchi by the name of Sabboi, and that is the cry they utter when they perform their orgies to the god.
This association with the Jewish Sabbath, the Seventh Day, is then strengthened when we remember that Dionysos himself was referred to as "Hebdomeus" "Dionysos of the Seventh Day." One may again argue that by Hellenistic times, the jews would have incorporated various Dionysiac rituals into their own religious festivals, but the feasts and practices enumerated above, to which I could have added, had been observed by jews from long before that.
Dionysos was the embodiment of Saturn.
Moreover, Dionysos was also identified as Helios whom, is also, identified as the Saturnian sun.
It is therefore safe to state that the winged sun disks on royal Judahite seals, and the association of Helios in Jewish synagogues, are reminiscent of a well understood identity of Yahweh as the embodiment of the Saturnian planetary deity.
