Description
Dionysus, god of wine and ecstasy, has come to Thebes, bringing wild frenzy with him. The women are streaming out of the city to worship him on the mountain, drinking and dancing in abandon. The king, Pentheus, rejects this so-called 'god', but no mortal can deny a deity's power. This translation by Robin Robertson brings Euripides' devastating tale to life, reinvigorating the ancient verse for contemporary readers. A powerful exploration of a god's revenge, Bacchae is a stark and brutal portrayal of human nature.
