Shouldn't Euripedes' Bacchae get a mention? Wetman 21:40, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

It will...I'm not done yet :) Adam Bishop 00:42, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Actually...I think I misunderstood you. I guess some of the plays should be mentioned specifically, but the Bacchae is not about the Dionysia, if that's what you mean. It's about Maenadism, which is a different form of worship of Dionysus (more like the Roman Bacchanalia). Adam Bishop 15:01, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

This article really needs to be expanded. I am doing a Classics GCSE and need to do a 3-4 A4 page essay on the City Dionysia, perhaps some of that can go into the article, I definitely won't copyright it. I am also disappointed to see that the word Choregos gets about 3 hits on wikipedia, so I might do something about that, if I have time. --The1exile 14:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Isn't this festival also called the festival of Dionysus. I think some mention of that should be made.Kingkyle222 05:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I think exactly how long the festival went for should be included in there :) --Fingyer (talk) 08:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
