Accepted Answer

In natural English speech, "dithyrambs" appears in contexts such as: "One of the most popular involved a procession from Eleuthera to Athens, where worshipers lofted a giant phallus and sang songs called dithyrambs in praise of... you know who. And one theory about those dithyrambs actually is that eventually they evolved into theater, when singers started acting out the action instead of just singing it. Aristotle and his followers think that sooner or later, a singer stepped out of the dithyramb chorus and started acting out individual characters.".
