Why? Why was Dionysus the patron of theatre in Greece? What's the connection between the Dionysian revelries and theatre?

Just wondering...

Many thanks, wwh. That's a terrific link. I especially enjoyed reading about the men who wore headresses that were fashioned like phalluses!

Hence the term "getting head."
