Iacchus
In
Greek mythology, Iacchus is an epithet of
Dionysus, particularly associated with the
Mysteries at Eleusis, where he was considered to be the son of
Zeus and
Demeter. Iacchus was the torch bearer of the procession from
Eleusis, sometimes regarded as the herald of the 'divine child' of the Goddess, born in the underworld, and sometimes as the child itself. Iacchus was called ‘the light bearing star of the nocturnal mysteries’, giving him possible associations with
Sirius and
Sothis..
