| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sergius and Bacchus |
 | | According to the legend, there were high in esteem of the Caesar Maximianus on account of their bravery, but this favour was turned into hate when they acknowledged their Christian faith. | | | When examined under torture they were beaten so severely with thongs that Bacchus died under the blows. | | | The Church calendar gives the two saints Marcellus and Apuleius on the same day as Sergius and Bacchus. |

| | Dionysus - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema |
| | Callirhoe was a Calydonian woman who scorned a priest of Dionysus who threatened to inflict all the women of Calydon with insanity (see Maenad). | | | Dionysus (or Dionysos; also known as Bacchus in Roman mythology and associated with the Italic Liber), the Thracian god of wine, represents not only the intoxicating power of wine, but also its social and beneficent influences. | | | Dionysus, the name of a god, is occasionally confused with one of several historical figures named Dionysius. |
