About this book

"The Bacchae of Euripides" by Euripides is an ancient Greek tragedy written during his final years in Macedonia and premiered posthumously in 405 BC. The god Dionysus arrives in Thebes disguised as a mortal, seeking revenge against his cousin King Pentheus and the royal family who denied his divinity. When Pentheus refuses to recognize Dionysus's godhood and bans his worship, the vengeful deity drives the women of Thebes into ecstatic frenzy and lures the king toward a devastating fate on Mount Cithaeron.
