A dithyramb is a type of ancient Greek choral song or hymn in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. It was typically performed by a choir of men wearing masks and costumes, and accompanied by music and dance. Dithyrambs were often performed during religious festivals and celebrations, and they celebrated the mythical stories and rituals associated with Dionysus. Over time, dithyrambs evolved into the development of tragedies in Ancient Greece.
