Semachos - Greek Mythology

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Greek mythology Semachos was a doublet of Ikarios, the recipient of Dionysus' gift of wine, who welcomed Dionysus to Attica, with a tragic outcome. Semachos was the founder-hero of the Athenian priestesses of Dionysus, the Semachidai. The name could be given a Hellenic twist by linking it with machia, "battle", but M.C. Astour recommended a derivation from a Northwest Semitic word, represented by the Hebrew imah, "made to rejoice".
