Bro'mius
(
*Bro/mios), a surname of Dionysus, which some explain by saying, that he was born during a storm of thunder and lightning (
Diod. 4.5; Dion Chrys.
Or. 27); others derive it from the nymph Brome, or from the noise of the Bacchantic processions, whence the verb
βρομεάζεσθαι, to rage like a Bacchant (
Ov. Met. 4.11; Orph.
Lith. 18.77.)
There is also a my thical personage of this name. (
Apollod. 2.1.5.)
