The roots of Carnival are ancient and were first reported during the 6th century B.C in ancient Greece. The celebration was in honor of the God Dionysus, and the rebirth of vegetation and fertility rites that were connected with the Spring Season. According to tradition, the God Dionysus died each year, but he was resurrected in spring. His resurrection over the years evolved to an organized form of festivities including theatrical performances. The most important festival was the Greater Dionysia, which was held in Athens for five days every spring. This fascinating celebration inspired well known Greek dramatists, including Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, who wrote their extraordinary tragedies.
