Technitai Dionusou
In ancient Teos (Asia Minor), an actors' guild formed, called the "Artists of Dionysos" (Technitai Dionusou or Dionusiakoi technitai in Greek, informally referred to as hoi technitai), which eventually expanded to include other artists and musicians (kitharists, auletes, aulodes, singers, composers, poets, costumers, etc.). They staged complete concerts and plays, taught music and travelled from town to town. They were treated as privileged and favored. The guildsmen also served Dionysos, and their duties included performing his liturgy and festivals. They were headed by a priest of the god. Later, they were known in Latin as Dionysiaci artifices. For several centuries they had great power. They were also, appropriately, regarded as rowdy troublemakers in parts, and were expelled from many places they visited.
