Synopsis

Dionysus, the young wine god, returns to his hometown of Thebes after founding his cult in the East. Accompanied by a group of Bacchantes, he seeks to restore his mother, Semele, who had been disbelieved by her family when she claimed Zeus was the father of her child. Dionysus aims to reveal his divine nature and demand proper worship from the people of Thebes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
