David B. HimselfOkay, now I'm starting to see more and more that Sequana was Dionysus's daughter.
People, stop it. Stop repeating whatever you read to sound more knowledgeable about something than you are.
First, if she was to be his daughter, please name him Bacchus, not Dionysus.
Also, Sequana was a Gallic goddess, and her myth predates the Roman invasion of Gaul and has no link whatsoever to Greek Mythology.
So, while there is a chance that the Romans retconned her story, I haven't found any trace of it. She's not related to Bacchus. They're not even from the same religion.
However, one nice tidbit, is that the myth of Jesus Christ draws some motifs from the myth of Dionysus/Bacchus. Just saying.

Think of the #Seine and you may picture Notre Dame, the Louvre, a ballet of boats under bridges next to the Eiffel Tower. “Under the sky of Paris/runs a joyous river,” sang Edith Piaf…pop songs have certainly ensured the river’s international celebrity status. Yet few people know about the #GalloRoman goddess for which the Seine is named. #Celtic…healing deity #Sequana was honored in cult worship after the #Roman conquest of #Gaul in the 1st century…
