One person with this name created a namesake type of literary imitation that supplanted Aristotle's mimesis among Romans like Quintilian. That person wrote a history called Roman Antiquities and was from Halicarnassus. A person with this name led the losing Ionians in the Battle of Lade and was from Phocaea. A person with this name expelled the philosopher Dion under the advice of Plato and was besieged in a citadel on Ortygia by Timoleon. That ruler supposedly had the literal Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which didn't improve his rule much, and along with an "Elder" father, was a tyrant of (*) Syracuse. Two days of a festival to a god of this name were devoted to dithyrambs. Each participant in that festival created a work featuring Satyrs in the chorus. For 10 points, name this god to whom Athens dedicated its yearly festival of plays.
