In 6th century B.C. the cult of Dionysus made its way into Athens from Eleutherae in Boeotia. And it was in Athens that the foundations where laid for the development of the theatre, an art form which traces its origins back to the dithyramb. The dithyramb was a cult song to Dionysus in which a small group of men dressed as Satyrs chanted while dancing to the accompaniment of a flute. In its most basic form, this was the beginnings of theater. In a series of developments, the choral song was enhanced with imitative movements, meter, and then dialogue. From Dionysus comes the word dialog, and with dialog (from 2 people speaking to each other) comes theatre. In the mid-sixth century BC, Thespes of the Attic deme of Icaria was credited with being the first person to include and "actor" in the performance. The importance of this is that we finally had a character that was not actually part of the chorus, yet still interacted with it. By the fifth century BC, the theatre had reached its fullest and finest form, consisting of three genres: tragedy, comedy, and the Satyr play. Theatrical performances were mainly focused on two major festivals of the god, the Great Dionysia and the Lenea.
