Where did you get that Zeus=Dios? Show me your compelling evidence and the documented history that says Zeus = Dios, because if you can't I will tell my friends in facebook that you are just misleading, but if it's the fact why do we refuse? I said documented history not HIS-STORY.

There's a problem with the pronunciation of Διονυσος.
The "υ" is actually pronounced like an I, so it should be pronounced "dee-o-Nee-sos," not "dee-o-Noo-sos."

Nysa, the famous mountain, was actually the mountain on which the god Dionysos was raised, which is why it is a part of his name.
