Lenaia

Lenaia

Lenäen (griechisch Λήναια Lēnaia) waren im antiken Griechenland Festspiele zu Ehren des Gottes Dionysos. Sie fanden wohl ursprünglich im Lenaion, dem heiligen Bezirk des Dionysos Lenaios auf der Agora von Athen statt, seit Mitte des 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. im Dionysostheater am Südostabhang der Akropolis.

Die dreitägigen Festspiele fanden im Jan./Febr. statt. Im Gegensatz zu den Dionysien lag der Schwerpunkt bei den Komödien, wovon fünf aufgeführt wurden, aber nur zwei Tragödien (und keine Satyrspiele).
