ANTHESTERIA FESTIVAL
“And he [the C1st AD prophet Apollonios of Tyana] is said to have rebuked the Athenians for their conduct of the Dionysia (Festival of Dionysos), which they hold at the season of the month Anthesterion. For when he saw them flocking to the theatre he imagined that they were going to listen to solos and compositions in the way of processional and rhythmic hymns, such as are sung in comedies and tragedies; but when he heard them dancing lascivious jigs to the rondos of a flute.
