The <entity_2> (/daɪəˈnaɪsiə/) was a large <entity_0> in honor of the god <entity_1>, the central events of which were the theatrical performances of dramatic tragedies and, from 487 BC, comedies. The <entity_2> was originally a rural <entity_3> in Eleutherae, Attica (Διονύσια τὰ κατ' ἀγρούς – <entity_2> ta kat' agrous), probably celebrating the cultivation of vines. It was probably a very ancient <entity_3>, perhaps not originally associated with <entity_1>. The City <entity_2> (<entity_2> ta en Astei – Διονύσια τὰ ἐν Ἄστει, also known as the Great <entity_2>, <entity_2> ta Megala – Διονύσια τὰ Μεγάλα) was the urban part of the <entity_3>, possibly established during the tyranny of Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. This <entity_3> was held probably from the 10th to the 16th of the month Elaphebolion (the lunar month straddling the vernal equinox, i.e., Mar.-Apr in the solar calendar), three months after the rural <entity_2>, probably to celebrate the end of winter and the harvesting of the year's crops. The archon prepared for the City <entity_2> as soon as he was elected, by choosing his two páredroi (πάρεδροι, "reeves", literally: "by the chair") and ten epimelētai (ἐπιμεληταί, "curators") to help organize the <entity_3>. On the first day of the <entity_3>, the pompē ("pomp", "procession") was held, in which citizens, metics, and representatives from Athenian colonies marched to the Theatre of <entity_1> on the southern slope of the Acropolis, carrying the wooden statue of <entity_1> Eleuthereus, the "leading" or eisagōgē (εἰσαγωγή, "introduction"). Most of the extant <entity_4> tragedies, including those of Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles, were performed at the Theatre of <entity_1>.
