Dyonision is a later good, it cannot have IE origin, it appeared later
in the Thracian mithology and was imported too by Phyrigians.

 

PCR: Yes, I agree.

 

 

Ares was
originary the good of the hard winter, of the cumplitely wind.

 

PCR:

No, I disagree. He was a god of cutting men (war) and cutting soil (agriculture) and cutting up (intoxicants).

 

Presumabely his name is the one which is at the origin of the name of
the month "Januarius", and not Jovis (Janus) as generaly assumed.

PCR:

Respectfully disagree.
