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."
