A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Impressive, yet completely insane... almost impossible to forget. Religious fervour and the destruction and havoc that it can wreak is the central subject in Euripides' writing - not the power play. What is the difference between the gods and men? If gods are as vengeful and bloodthirsty as men then we should not worship them. Blood lust is not godly and should not be craved. Madness is dangerous. Religion and violence should never go hand in hand. --The Independent on Euripides' Bacchae
