Document Summary

Recap: alcibiades died in phrygia in 404. We can find out about his death in plutarch: he wrote about things greek and roman. He wrote about the life of alcibiades: alcibiades was keeping with him a lady of a noble house. His brothers set fire to the house where he was living. It is possible that lysander killed alcibiades: alternatively, the murder could have been the brothers of timandra. The brothers of the woman of noble house could have set the fire. Greek theatre and drama, greek myth: connected by dionysus. The god of drama and theatre: the city or the great dionysia. There were lots of festivals of dionysus in the ancient world. In athens, it lasted three or four days in the spring each year. Dionysus is the patron deity of the festival and of greek theatre: he was worshiped in many aspects.
