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.
