OP The mention in the excerpt above of the pine being sacred to Dionysus because of the turpentine from it reminded me of hearing in a biochem lecture that Roman ladies drank small amounts of turpentine because it gave their urine an odor of lavender. I asked the lecturer:"For whose benefit?" But got no answer.
