"holding grudges.."
Considering what Hera did to Dionysus i wouldn't be surprised if he still was angry for what she did to him. Understandably so, since (in Orphic religion) Dionysus was the heir of Zeus and Hera fearing his ingrowing power conspired with the Titans to slay the boy. He was reincarnated as Semele's son but was almost lost again to Hera's jealousy. That's why Dionysus is also referred to as the god or death and rebirth.

"(...) And so hail to you, Dionysus, god of abundant clusters! Grant that we may come again rejoicing to this season, and from that season onward for many a year." - The Homeric Hymns: 26 - To Dionysus

here's a tip about working with Dionysos that nobody asked for
invoke him using epithets, and be specific
like maybe don't call on Zagreus the Hunter to bless your grapevine - consider Korymbophoros the Cluster-Laden
I generally wouldn't call on Chthonios of the Underworld to bless your theatrical production - Dithyrambos the Hymned is a more appropriate option
Meilichios the Gentle might not be the best aspect to call on before attending a protest with heavy police presence - for that, consider Lyseus the Liberator
does this make sense? call on him using epithets! always always use epithets if you can manage it, be specific about what aspect you want to talk to - he is Polynomos and Polymorphos, Many-Named and Multiply-Born for a reason
there are exceptions, obviously, where you could get really specific about why for example Chthonios IS the best aspect to bless your musical (maybe you're doing Hadestown?) but put some thought into it
try and match the epithets to what it is you're trying to accomplish or honor, rather than choosing them at random or based on how they sound sonically or how badass they seem
that's it, that's the tip
easy, simple, effective
have fun

my queer rendition of Joseph Kuhn-Régnier's painting "Bacchanal and Panthers"
I really love the original painting, but I wanted to add my own style and make it more modern and Dionysian

Poseidon: Life is like the sea, you can never know for how long it will be calm.
Hades: The reason you don't enjoy life is because you are afraid of death.
Hestia: Keep calm and carry on.
Demeter: Don't underestimate someone because they look calm.
Ares: Never judge a book by its cover.
Aphrodite: Love is a bird, she needs to fly.
Apollo: The sexiest language someone can speak is the motherfucking truth.
Artemis: Women can do everything.
Hephaestus: Ugly outside, beautiful inside.
Athena: Knowledge is power.
Dionysus: Rage on or go home.
Hermes: Being talkative is nice, until you start lying.

Polychrome terracotta sculpture of the god Dionysos, holding an egg and a rooster. The unusual attributes may hint at a connection to Orphism, which held that the first deity, Phanes or Protogonos ("First-Born"), was hatched from a cosmic egg. Adherents of Orphism saw humankind as the descendants of Dionysos (under the name "Zagreus"), created when the Titans devoured the young Zagreus and were then struck by Zeus' thunderbolt. Artist unknown; created in Tanagra, Boeotia (an important center of terracotta production) ca. 350 BCE. Now in the British Museum.

And they say that some foreigner has arrived,
a sorcerer, an enchanter from the land of Lydia,
with sweet-smelling hair in curls,
the wine-dark charms of Aphrodite in his eyes...
