Dionysia Festival - Dionysia Festival (English spelling)
A festival of ancient Greece. The deity worshipped was Dionysus. It was an old, cheerful, erotic peasant festival, but it played an important role in cultural history because it came to feature tragic and comedic contests. There were three festivals by this name in Athens. The first was one that had been celebrated since ancient times in the villages of Attica, and featured a procession with a giant phallus (phallus) and a free-spirited ritual. The second was one of these village festivals, held in the village of Eleutherai, which was moved to the city of Athens by the tyrant Peisistratos, and a temple was built at the southeastern foot of the Acropolis.

古代ギリシアの祭典。祭神はディオニュソスで,古い陽気でエロティックな農民の祭りであったが,悲劇や喜劇の競演が催されるようになったため,文化史上重要な役割を果たした。アテナイには,この名で呼ばれる祭典が三つあった。第1に,古くからアッティカの村々で祝われていたものがあり,巨大な男根(ファロス)を掲げ持っての行列,無礼講的な儀式などが行われた。第2は,これら村々の祭りの一つ,エレウテライEleutherai村のものが僭主ペイシストラトスによりアテナイ市内へ移され,アクロポリス南東麓に神殿も建てられた。
