On the other hand, Euripides is said to have met his end, in the same\n    year as Sophocles, by being torn apart by a pack of wild dogs, the vengeance of gods for\n    whom he had always showed disdain.

The people honored this son of\n        Zeus by accepting his gift of knowledge (how to cultivate grapes for\n        wine) and establishing a cult (a whole system of worship)in his name .\n        When Dionysus came to Attica, a local king also accepted this new\n        knowledge, but his people &#8211; who had never tasted the effects of wine\n        before &#8211; feared they had been poisoned and killed the king. They\n        suffered a terrible punishment and thereafter knew the divinity of\n        Dionysus &#8211; then they too established a cult and a festival in his honor\n        every winter. Women ran wild in orgiastic ecstasy, all in hope that the\n        dead world would once again come back to life after the winter was over.\n        Another big festival was held in the spring to celebrate the renewal of\n        life, even more elaborate and ecstatic: men dressed in goat-skins, or <em>tragados<\/em>\n        (imitating <em>satyrs<\/em>, mythical half goat\/half man creatures with\n        huge over-sized phalluses &#8211; they represented nature and fertility) and\n        sang songs of praise to the god (<em>odi\n        tragon<\/em>, &#8220;goat-song&#8221; is the etymology of our word\n        &#8220;tragedy.&#8221;)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64fjyo1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64fjyo1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Festival\n        of Dionysus introduced to Athens<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6y3nav7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6y3nav7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This crude\n        celebration of bountiful grape harvests gradually grew into a more formalized production:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-s1dkrxl elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"s1dkrxl\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>And by the time of the fifth\n        century, drama became the number one public opinion-setting institution of the new\n        democratic polis. This is one of the reasons that &#8220;Greek&#8221; drama as we know it\n        through the grand masters of Euripides, Aristophanes&#8230; is almost exclusively\n        &#8220;Athenian&#8221; drama. The tyrant Pesistratus introduced the cult of Dionysus to\n        Athens in the 6th century and &#8220;theater&#8221; as we know it was born. There were four\n        separate festivals of Dionysus, but it was at the Greater (or City) Dionysia, celebrated\n        by all of Attica in the spring, where poet-playwrights competed for top prizes. This is\n        not unlike the Olympics, which also sprang from religious ritual but appealed to the Greek\n        competitive spirit at the same time. Thespis (where we get our word &#8220;thespian&#8221;\n        from) is known to have won the first competition (534 BC). In Thespis&#8217; time, the dramatist\n        not only wrote the play, but he also composed the music, choreographed the dance, designed\n        the costumes, and played the major role; citizens paid for all the expenses (including the\n        actors&#8217; pay, their masks and costumes, the sets&#8230;). In the early days, a panel of judges\n        determined the winner of the competition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5y0onht elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5y0onht\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Go through\n        the steps with a fictional<a href=\"http:\/\/homer.reed.edu\/staging.html\">\n        5th century\n        Athenian playwright\n        as he struggles to get his play produced and staged in the Festival of\n        Dionysus<br>\n        <\/a>(written by Walter Englert, Reed College) <br>\n        Highly recommended!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37guovm elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37guovm\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By mid-fifth century, the\n        competition portion of the festival lasted for three days with this format: each of three\n        playwrights had an entire day to present his three tragedies and one satyr play (a farce).\n        Plays were performed from dawn to dusk.

Both the monuments of Lysikrates and Thrasyllos show\n        evidence of the bronze victory tripod traditionally dedicated to Dionysus which stood atop\n        such a
