His face is represented in the Masks of Drama that we all are familiar with. Euripedes honored him again and again. Each Tragedy represents lifetimes. Characters, places, possesions. This is all part of the Cycle of Life and Reincarnation.
Every story is a lifetime.
On this day we also make offerings to the God. We welcome him again with libations of wine and food. We make offerrings towards our grapevine that it will blossom another year. That we too will endure another year. Taking part in the Dionysia is an afirmation towards our acceptance and thanks for the the Cycle of Rebirth that we have been blessed with.
