		We have no knowledge of the early stages of comedy's evolution, but we do know that in the course of the festival called Lenaea (organized by the Eponymous Archon in the month of Gamelion, answering to our modern January and February) comedy was played.
		The Lenaea was in honour of Dionysus 'Lenaeus'.
		His worship took place outside the city walls, and was of earlier origin than that of Dionysus 'Eleuthereus', patron of tragedy.

		Athenian comedy was performed at two state-sponsored festivals: the Lenaea, in midwinter, and the grander holiday called the City Dionysia, in early spring.
		Lenaea, is Aristophanes' most political play: It amounts to a vicious attack on the politician Cleon, who at that time was standing for election to Athens' board of generals.
		The comic protagonist is the god Dionysus, who journeys to the Underworld to fetch back the tragedian Euripides (who in fact had died the previous year).

		Tradition tells us that these contests were instituted from the middle of the fifth century, but details of their nature and organisation prior to Aristophanes are wanting.
		Four of the comedies of Aristophanes, The Acharnians, The Knights, The Wasps, The Frogs, were given at the Lenaea.

	CNL: Diane's Garden
		Robert Graves in The White Goddess tells us that in Athens, at the Winter Solstice, there was a festival called the Lenaea (festival of Wild Women) where the death and rebirth of Dionysus was re-enacted using a yearling kid to represent the young God.
		In the original myth, nine wild women, the representatives of the moon goddess Hera, tore the child to pieces and ate him.
		Perhaps the god Belenus or his earthly representative in the Lenaea was given a narcotic drink laced with Henbane to numb him to the pain of dismemberment, and so the two became associated with each other.

	309: Old Comedy, Classical Drama and Theatre
		While their topicality argues against their long-term viability in the ancient theatre—political jokes tend to lose currency very quickly—other evidence suggests certain plays may have been revived in performance or were at least circulated in published form (note).
		But that would be to underestimate several factors at hand: the force of Aristophanes' genius, his youth, his idealism and the quality of Athenian democracy.
		Contrary to common sense, then, Aristophanes in 424 BCE produced The Knights, his most stinging attack yet on Cleon, though the play was again restricted to the Lenaea.

		Greek tragedy, then, addressed itself to the socio-political ideals of the polis, but through its characters, subjects, and setting it was also removed from ordinary social life.
		Comedy was performed both at the City Dionysia and also at the Lenaea, a mid-winter Dionysiac festival in which women played a prominent role.
		Several of Aristophanes' plays exploit the cultural preoccupation with the opposition between male and female by staging a full-scale battle of the sexes in which women vanquish men in the service of the polis.
