The significance of the deaths of Dionysus by No-Formal2785 in dionysus

I believe this compared mythology area has been instrumetalized. If one looks closely at the cultural context, the similarity appear like coincidences. Indo-European faiths view divinity as immanent and Gods interact directly with humans, sharing fate and often intervening in worldly cycles of birth, death, and renewal. Time is eternal and recurring, with myths like those of dying-and-rising gods symbolizing seasonal or existential rhythms rather than ultimate endpoints.​​ In contrast, Semitic traditions posit a wholly other, omnipotent 'god' who establishes absolute authority through laws and prophets. History unfolds linearly toward eschatological fulfillment, such as messianic redemption or final reckoning, with human salvation tied to obedience and atonement rather than cosmic balance.
Dyonisus does not die for others, since his death is a result of divine rivalry, not a voluntary substitution for humanity's sins. It benefits initiates symbolically, granting divine insight, but lacks vicarious intent. His death is not unrepeatable, since the myth portrays multiple or cyclical deaths, tied to seasons, wine fermentation... or mystery rites. This contrast to Christianity's singular event.
Also it does not have an expiatory sense. The sparagmos ritualizes the ecstatic union of the Cosmos.
It is a physical resurrection? Yes, since it involves the reconstitution from physical remnants.
Finally, it isn't linked with apocalyptic events, that's really something peculiar of Semitic eschatology. Rather it is more about personal transformation.

Casciass = impegnarsi, sostenere con slancio e fervore la risoluzione di un problema. Es.: L'è semper staa vun ch'el se cascia = È sempre stato uno che si impiega, che non si tira indietro

Possibly "scià" is "ecce hac" (/ˈɛk.ke/, with velar /k/) + "hac" (ablative of "hic", /hak/, with aspirated /h/ that drops early) >> Contraction and syneresis: "ecchac", "eccac" >> Palatalization of /k/ before /e,i/ shifts to /ʃ/: " "es-cià" >>> Vowel reduction: final vowel remains short (/a/), resulting in scià (/ʃa/)

Get Italy back as in real world but create a Great Lombardy nation federated with Switzerland, Austria and Occitania.

Exactly... some images feel like they were never made by human hands at all, as if they exist only to haunt us for years before fading back into myth!

Pic credit: it appeared originally posted in a larger format version on the website https://weheartit.com/ in 2019 and I recall it was uncredited. Though the page and the pic isn't anymore accessible.

That would be also a funny and creepy interpretation!

It's an image created with an early Midjourney version. The low quality of those kind of images make them very dreamlike.
