Synopsis

Number thirty-five in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.

Translated and introduced by Fredric Raphael and Kenneth McLeish.

The introduction to this edition of Bacchae includes a short biography of Euripides and chronology of his work; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play its staging and its context; and a brief guide to The myth and cult of Dionysus and the Bacchae.

Euripides' classic drama about the often mortifying consequences of the unbridled--and frequently hysterical--celebration of the feast of Dionysos, the God of wine.

At the whim of Dionysos, a son is torn to pieces by his own mother during the famous women-only Bacchanalian ritual. The story of revenge by the half-man half-god on Pentheus, King of Thebes, and all his people.

Bacchae is a set text for WJEC A/AS-Level Drama and Theatre Studies.
