Dionysus is the god of wine and fertility. In Angitone, he is referred to because he was a huge part of the Greek theatre during this time. There was the festival of Dionysus held each spring. Spring was chosen because it is a season of fertility.
The Festival of Dionysus was created by the Greeks to celebrate the god Dionysus during the season of Spring (in march) and winter (in December), by presenting him with a series of plays. The plays most commonly performed were called Tragedies and also comedies and were written by bards (poets) especially for the Festival. These Tragedies and comedies would be performed during the feast and, as Dionysus was the god of wine among other things, this would often be the main drink served at the feast.
