The Lycurgeia (Ancient Greek: Λυκούργεια Lykoúrgeia) is a lost tetralogy by the Athenian dramatist Aeschylus that concerned Thracian Lycurgus’ conflict with Dionysus and its aftermath. The four plays that made up the Lycurgeia survive only in fragments quoted by ancient authors and the reconstruction of much of their content is a matter of conjecture. In the Edoni (Ἠδωνοί Ēdōnoí) Dionysus presumably arrived in Thrace where King Lycurgus attempted to suppress the worship of the new god.
