Worship
She was worshipped primarily by the women of Delos, who set out food offerings in small boats. Brizo would accept anything but fish. The offerings would grant everything good and she might grant ships safe passage. Along with the offerings, the sailors would do dances meant for Brizo as the dances were not from festivals and only suited her. There were two or three separate dances, not just one specific dance.Brizo was associated with four cults, those of Apollo, Dionysus, Demeter, and Hecate. The cult of Apollo saw her as the mother of the Sibyls. The cult of Dionysus saw her as the mother of Maenads. The cult of Demeter saw her as the mother of the Melissae. The cult of Hecate saw her as the mother of the Fates. All these cults saw her as the mother of the gods’ prophetic priestesses or their own oracles.
