The Bacchae mixes history with myth to recount the story of Dionysus’s unwelcomed arrival in Greece. The liberating God of wine and revelry is feared and opposed by Pentheus, the reigning king of Thebes. When Pentheus spies upon the divine rights of Dionysus and his band of female worshippers, he meets with a rather gory and shocking end. Dr. Nicholas Rudall’s contemporary translation beautifully maintains the vivid imagery and poetic structure of Euripides’ ancient text.
