Bacchae
The Bacchae is a tragedy by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, written in 405 BC. It tells the story of King Pentheus of Thebes and his mother Agavë, who face dire consequences for rejecting the worship of Dionysus, their cousin and the god of wine and ecstasy. The play explores themes of divine retribution, the conflict between reason and emotion, and the dangers of denying one's instincts. It is notable for its complex portrayal of the god Dionysus and the consequences of hubris.
