As a dithyrambus, also called dithyrambos, has been a Greek, cultic choral song, or a reigen, which was performed in honor of the god Dionysus, although other gods or heroes were sung alongside the winery. The dithyrambus is characterized by an ecstatic seizure of the chorus and was performed in a change of chorus and prelude. Such dithyrambs have been used since the seventh century BC, Are documented in almost every literary epoch, characterized by irregularities in the structure of verses and verses. The choral element with the ode and the anthem is related to it, whereby the glorification of the god in the dithyrambile appears to be even more pronounced (see poems).
