A quick read. Interesting idea but not very fleshed out. Also, the title and cover make it seem kind of racy, but there are true Greek myths racier than this story.
bzedan's review against another edition

Very silly future world where the gods have come back. In need of a substitute Dionysus, they rope lay acolyte William Forrester in as a demi-god. Being as he had been a lay acolyte of Athena, he' a little embarrassed by how well he gets into the orgy bit of being Bacchus.
Which, like, not very dirty scenes, but not "kiss and the screen goes dark" kind of stuff either. You get a nice impression of lots of enthusiastic touching before passions overwhelm into a fadeout. And! Then Forrester goes and finds a total secret the gods are hiding. Because he likes being Dionysus/Bacchus, but also has a personal sense of responsibility.
