Because Dionysus introduced theatre into ancient Greece
Dionysus
The Greeks had a theatre by the name of Dionysus. This theatre was located in Athens, Greece. Dionysus was known as the patron of fertility or wine.
There were several altars to Dionysus throughout Greece. I assume you mean the altar at the Theater of Dionysus in Athens. It was in the center of the Orchestra Circle to begin with and then was moved to the downstage edge of the Orchestra during the Hellenistic Period.

Dionysus
He brought the vine to Greece.
No, not everyone hated Dionysus. He had worshipers in ancient Greece, as well as mythic family and lovers.
He's not in Antigone... Sophocles created this play for the festival of Dionysis in Greece. "When the vine first ripened in the spring, the Greeks had a festival for Dionysus. During this celebration, the Greeks wrote, performed, and watched plays. Dionysus had two different faces, savagery and joy, and felt the agony of being torn into pieces and feeling new and happy again in resurrection. These characteristics and events eventually developed into the two major types of plays, tragedy and comedy."
