Corrected entry: In Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony, Disney decided to paint a picturesque setting of Ancient Greek mythology. When Fantasia's host, Dean Taylor, introduces the piece, he uses all Greek names except for the God of wine, which in Greek, is Dionysos. The name Taylor uses is Bacchus, the Latin translation. Also, they depicted "Bacchus" incorrectly. The God Silenus was always pictured as drunk and riding a donkey, as "Bacchus" was in Fantasia.

Correction: They used the names that people would be more familiar with - just because the setting is pseudo-Greek, it doesn't mean that they're restricted to using the Greek names exclusively. Anything else is artistic licence - this isn't a documentary.
