In the Bronze Age, during the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries, Orchomenos became a rich and important centre of civilisation in Mycenaean Greece and a rival to Thebes. Classical Orchomenos was known for its sanctuary of the Charites or Graces, the oldest in the city, according to Pausanias (5.172–80); the Byzantine (9th century) monastery church of Panagia Skripou probably occupies the long-sacred spot.[5] Here the Charites had their earliest veneration, in legend instituted by Eteocles; musical and poetical agonistic games, the Charitesia,[6] were held in their honour, in the theatre that was discovered in 1972.[7] The Agrionia, a festival of the god Dionysus, involved the ritual pursuit of women by a man representing Dionysus.
