You could say the ancient Thracians (named for Japheth’s son Tiras) liked that “white lightening,” for the name of their sky god Sabazios means juice (or liquid) of day (deus), that’s light as lightening or sunlight, and Dionysius the god of booze was said to be the same as Sabazios, so power the Thracians believed was in daylight, lightning, and alcohol, consistent with their ancient reputation.
