		The City Dionysia (Dionysia ta en Astei, also known as the Great Dionysia, Dionysia ta Megala) was the urban part of the festival, possibly established during the tyranny of Pisistratus in the 6th century BC.
		Whatever the true origins of the Dionysia, the urban festival was a relatively recent invention, and fell under the auspices of the eponymous archon rather than the basileus, to whom religious festivals were given when the office of archon was created in the 7th century BC.

	The City Dionysia
		Hence the origin of the name City Dionysia, to distinguish it from the Anthesteria and the Lenaea, which were celebrated, at any rate during the earliest period, in a district outside the walls.
		Demosthenes speeks of the "multitudes of strangers" who were present, and Aeschines describes the audience at the City Dionysia as consisting of "the whole Greek nation." Though Athens was shorn of her political power, the crowds which continued to attend the festival testified to her unimpaired supremacy in art and literature.
		The City Dionysia was the principal home of the tragic drama, and it was here that the earliest public competitions in tragedy were established.
