Euripides Bacchae by Euripides
4.0
That which is beyond us, which is greater than the human, the unattainably great, is for the mad, or for those who listen to the mad, and then believe them.
Setting a goal of reading 10 ancient Greek book this year including the Homer(s). It is decision based in deficit.
This is powerful, alight with natural bliss and bubbles of madness. It is a shame the Gods so enjoy dispensing the latter at their whim. Pastoral nightmares, this prefigures Hoffmann and the Romantics.
This play is more spiteful than heroic. I did like it. Aside from crowd psychology and chemical issues it does [resent cautionary tale of ridiculing minority sects. The reveal is always so agonizing, it is protracted and the recipient character doesn't understand--until she does.
