In the first ode, the chorus called on Dionysus, because he was the god of wine. It was customary to drink wine at celebrations. In this case, Thebes was holding a festival to celebrate the successful repelling of Polyneices' attack on the city. So it was equally customary for recognition to be given and respect to be shown to the appropriate deity.
