The roots of ancient Greek theater lie in the cult of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility, one of the Olympian deities honored in the Greek world. In myth, Dionysus' followers were satyrs, drunken half-animal, half-human creatures, and maenads, or "mad women". In ancient Greek times, Dionysus' followers sometimes assumed these roles (pretended to be satyrs or maenads) in their religious rituals, resulting in much singing, drinking, and dancing in honor of their god.
