Winged
Although Dionysos is not associated with any birds, the Amyklaians invoked him as Psilax, from the Doric word psila meaning "winged". (Pausanias 3.19.6)
Similarly, Osiris usually appears as a mumiform being or a bull - but occassionally will be represented with wings, as a hawk, or as the winged solar disc through his syncreticism with Re. (E. A. Budge, Gods of the Egyptians)
