===The Lenaea===
Iacchus also played a role in the [[Lenaia]], the winter [[Dionysia|Athenian festival of Dionysus]].<ref>Guía, [https://books.google.com/books?id=FmTnBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA109 pp. 109&ndash;113]; Athanassakis and Wolkow, [https://books.google.com/books?id=TTo3r8IHy0wC&pg=PA149 p. 149]. Guía, [https://books.google.com/books?id=FmTnBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA110 p. 110], suggests that at the Lenaia, Iacchus, in addition to being a young man, and torchbearer, was possibly personified as a child, 'The son of Semele'.</ref> According to the scholiast on the ''[[The Frogs|Frogs]]'' of [[Aristophanes]], participants at the Lenaia responded to the command to "Invoke the god" with the invocation, "Hail, Iacchos, son of Semele, thou giver of wealth."<ref>Translation by Farnell, [https://books.google.com/books?id=9J0wnXWZmL8C&pg=PA149 p. 149] (citing scholiast on ''Frogs'' 482).
