Bromios

/ˈbroʊmiːoʊs/ noun

Definition

An epithet or surname of Dionysus in Greek mythology, literally meaning 'the loud-roarer' or relating to roaring sounds.

Etymology

From Greek bromos (roaring, loud noise, or stench—the word has multiple meanings in ancient Greek depending on context).

Kelly Says

Bromios is a mysterious god-name from ancient Greece—the same Greek root 'bromos' gave us bromine (the smelly element) and Dionysus's roaring epithet, showing how one ancient word could mean both 'stench' and 'roar'!
