I DID IT!

Around one year ago i decided to get into Hellenic polytheism and sine then i was learning and research anything i could find.

More then 6 months ago i started collecting stuff and made altars, but since then i was way too afraid to actually start worshipping them. And since i have a very important exam tomorrow, i finally decided to to get over my fears and interact with them. I did forcibly... I messed up my prayers several times, my hands got sweaty and started shaking. But i did it. I hope they heard me, if they didn't that's fine, I'm glad i overcome the fear even if it was really messy, but i hope I'll get better in the future.

I offered them tangerines (this is all i have, i live in a dormitory) and I'll leave them there for maybe an hour and then burn one half and put the other half in the school's garden. Here's the altar, it usually has more stuff but since I'm leaving next week i started packing the smaller things. If anyone else has a very important exam tomorrow, i wish you the best and may the gods be with you! ❤️

The whole thing with Dionysos and Zagreus is really confusing, can someone help???

The more I research the more questions i get rather than answers.

Are they one deity with two names?

Are they two aspects of one deity? (Dionysos being ouranik Zagreus and Zagreus being khtonik Dionysos)

If they are two aspects of one deity, does that mean the thracians worshipped both of them? (Dionysos-Zagreus as it's said in some places)

Or did the thracians worship mostly Zagreus, since it's said they worshipped a khtonik wine god?

Who's Sabazios?

Is he a totally separate deity or is that a thracian name for Zagreus? Or is it both?

I'm on the thought that Nyx would sometimes leave Erebos to take care of her crazy kids and they'll start fighting or bullying eachother, until Erebos tells them he'll call their mom if they don't stop.
