AimeeMaroux, (edited ) Dionysos has two swamp-related #epithets: Limnaios, Dionysos of the Marsh, and Limnegenes, "born in a lake or marsh". The epithets probably refer to a temple of #Dionysos near the Ilissos River in #Athens. According to Thucydides, the temple of Dionysos Limnaios was to the South of the Akropolis and one of the city's oldest sanctuaries.
