[3] Although named several times in the gospels, the only times he actually appears are in Matthew 4:21-22 and Mark 1:19–20, where he is left in the boat after Jesus called James and John. Mark's note that Zebedee was left with the "hired men" implies the family had some wealth. [ 4 ]

[1] By tradition, he is often counted as one of the unnamed seventy disciples sent out by Jesus into the villages of Galilee, as mentioned in Luke 10:1–24. [2] It has been suggested that Zenas was the inaugural bishop of Lydda and the author of the Acts of Titus.
The Orphic Hymn to the Graces says they are the daughters of Zeus and Eunomia (goddess of good order and lawful conduct), [6] and Pindar says that they are daughters of the strongest god (i.e. Zeus) without naming their mother. [7] Hesiod says also that Aglaea is the youngest of the Charites. [8] [1] [4] [9] [10]
However, no known Orphic sources use the name "Zagreus" to refer to Dionysus. It is possible that the association between the two was known by the 3rd century BC, when the poet Callimachus may have written about it in a now-lost source.
