ancient greece

The festivals were a very important part of ancient Greece. They usually included a procession and a sacrifice. They also had competitions which were seen as another way to worship gods. There were competitions in music, poetry, drama, and also athletics. They were held in honor of Zeus. One festival honored Dionysus.
