===Nonnus===
The 4th- or 5th-century poet [[Nonnus]], associates the name Iacchus with a "third" Dionysus.<ref>[[Nonnus]], ''[[Dionysiaca]]'' [https://archive.org/stream/dionysiaca01nonnuoft#page/n61/mode/2up 1.26&ndash;28 I pp. 4, 5 with Rouse' note a]; Bernabé and García-Gasco, [https://books.google.com/books?id=sLW9CwAAQBAJ&pg=PA109 p. 109].</ref> He describes the Athenian celebrations given to the first [[Zagreus|Dionysus Zagreus]] son of [[Persephone]], the second Dionysus [[Bromios]] son of [[Semele]], and the third Dionysus Iacchus:
:They [the Athenians] honoured him as a god next after the son of Persephoneia, and after Semele's son; they established sacrifices for Dionysos late born and Dionysos first born, and third they chanted a new hymn for Iacchos. In these three celebrations Athens held high revel; in the dance lately made, the Athenians beat the step in honour of Zagreus and Bromios and Iacchos all together.<ref>[[Nonnus]], ''[[Dionysiaca]]'' [https://archive.org/stream/dionysiaca03nonnuoft#page/492/mode/2up 48.962&ndash;968 III pp. 492, 493].</ref>
