To clarify somewhat, his mother was the mortal Semele, and had 2 births, as Semele died while she was pregnant with it, so Zeus decided to let it mature in his....thigh. (Let that sink in for a moment).

So...technically speaking, he's a Demigod, as his mother was a mortal, but since the one that carried him for the most part was Zeus, a god, Dionysus is arguably more god than mortal.

Oh, and Phantom, considering how Dionysus was, among other things, a god of orgies, technically he's not much better than his father at...keeping it down. Oh, and he's also hailed as an "asiatic foreigner", with strong ties to the East and to Ethiopia in the South, and also was described as a feminine man.
