Dionysus, Apollo, and Deimus

Hi all,

I’m looking to create an image using these words; Dionysus, Apollo, and Deimus (I’m taking it that Deimus would be more appropriate than Phobus to personify the fear talked about by Nietzsche in his philosophy, Phobus applying more to battles((?)

Thank you for your time:)

You might say that Deimos (=stark terror) comes before or provokes Phobos (=panic flight).  Which of those is more appropriate to Nietzsche, you'd have to ask a Nietsche expert.
If you have the time, tell us more about what your "image" is.

The image is something I want to represent a personal philosophy I’m working on, sort of a joining of some of Nietzsche’s main tenants with a non-religious/original (arguably?) Buddhist approach; Nietzsche uses the Greek view of Apollo representing reason, Dionysus representing emotion/passion. This signifies a lot, too much to go into detail here. Nietzsche believed fear of failure/doing/risking stops us realising our true potential (the Overman). I agree:) I also feel that using a Buddhist approach would help greatly in finding that fear.
The image is set around a cross-like-compass with fear at the bottom, Apollo on the right, Dionysus on the left, and a yingyang at the top.
I find it very thought provoking and stimulating to have it up/in various places, never know when you may get a new idea:)
I love ancient Greek history and as such would like to have the words written in that language.
So if anyone could help translate the words please:) I’m also a little unsure what god would best represent the fear mentioned above?

Hope I didn’t ramble on too much, and hope it makes sense.

Thanks again!

O.K., sounds like Φόβος is right for your "fear" (think of Freud choosing the term "phobia" for his own list of fears).  By "words," I gather you mean "names" — so here are the rest of them in Greek:
Ἀπόλλων
Διόνυσος

Yeah, sorry meant names:)
Which name is which? :)
And was it Phobus you went for in the end?

Many thanks:)

Apollo = Ἀπόλλων

Dionysus = Διόνυσος

Phobus = Φόβος
