Dionysus made a cameo appearance in Zeus vs Thor. He was portrayed by a Lego Minifigure.

Information on the cameo

Dionysus (Greek: Διόνυσος) is the Greek god of the grape harvest, winemaking, wine, ritual madness, fertility, theatre, and religious ecstasy. In Greek mythology, his heritage is disputed, being presented as a son of Zeus and the mortal Semele, thus semi-divine or heroic: and as son of Zeus and Persephone or Demeter, thus both fully divine, part-chthonic and possibly identical with Iacchus of the Eleusinian Mysteries. He is a major figure of Greek mythology and has been listed as one of the Twelve Olympians. His name, thought to be a theonym in Linear B tablets as di-wo-nu-so (KH Gq 5 inscription), shows that he may have been worshiped as early as c. 1500–1100 BC by Mycenean Greeks; other traces of the Dionysian-type cult have been found in ancient Minoan Crete. His origins are uncertain, and his cults took many forms; some are described by ancient sources as Thracian, others as Greek. Belief of Dionysus's festivals influenced the development of Greek theatre.

Appearance in the rap battle

Dionysus appeared during Zeus' second verse along with other Greek gods, such as Athena, Ares, Poseidon, Hades, and Aphrodite.
