Human factors
Pausanias notes in the "Messenian" books that Mount Eva took its name from the Bacchic exclamation "euoi", which Dionysus and the women who followed him first uttered there.
The name of Dionysus is attested on Linear B tablets found in the Peloponnese and dated to the 13th century BC, as established by Chadwick and Ventris.
