Ahh, that is such a good catch, how Henry refers to Julian as "a god." I already thought he was likely to be the Dionysian figure, especially since he just so happened to be fairly close by, out in the country. This connection strengthens the argument... and makes me wonder whether Henry knew, on some level, that Julian was there, but convinced himself it was Dionysus in order to keep his idealized version of his beloved mentor.
