The Bacchae by Euripides - Note on the Bacchae

The Bacchae  by Euripides<br />In Euripides' "Bacchae," the god Dionysus gets back to Thebes to state his heavenly nature and rebuff the people who deny him, especially Lord Pentheus. Camouflaged as a human, Dionysus prompts the ladies of Thebes, including Pentheus' mom Agave, to leave their homes and revel in wild, happy love. Pentheus, not set in stone to keep everything under control, endeavors to keep an eye on the Bacchae yet is at last caught. In a heartbreaking turn, Agave, made distraught by Dionysus, erroneously murders her child, trusting him to be a wild creature. The play investigates subjects of conviction, restraint, and the results of denying one's real essence, finishing in an overwhelming sign of the force of the heavenly and the mayhem of human inclination..
