Correction[edit]

This article says: The city had been dedicated to Dionysus when it was founded, perhaps by Antiochus I Soter in the third century BC /but it was founded before Antiochus I Soter! The name, Dionysos already means "Zeus (Dios) of Nysa"! Böri (talk) 13:19, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dionysus is named after the mythological mountain of Nysa on whose location the ancients' opinions widely differed. Are there any sources suggesting that the place was named Nysa before Antiochus I Soter founded the city? Otherwise I'd consider it more probable that the city was simultaneously dedicated to Dionysus and named after his fabled childhood home. Huon (talk) 14:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is some conflict with Nyssa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyssa_(Cappadocia) In the present is writen "which remains a Latin Catholic titular see" and in the link "Today, its name continues to be used as a titular see in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church."
