The Complete and original. The Bacchantes - Euripides translated by Edward P. Coleridge. The Bacchae; also known as The Bacchantes is an ancient Greek tragedy, written by the Athenian playwright Euripides during his final years in Macedonia, at the court of Archelaus I of Macedon. It premiered posthumously at the Theatre of Dionysus in 405 BC as part of a tetralogy that also included Iphigeneia at Aulis and Alcmaeon in Corinth, and which Euripides' son or nephew probably directed. It won first prize in the City Dionysia festival competition. The tragedy is based on the Greek myth of King Pentheus of Thebes and his mother Agave, and their punishment by the god Dionysus (who is Pentheus' cousin). The punishment occurs because Pentheus is fighting against the gods and outlaws worship of Dionysus, and to show Pentheus and all of Thebes that Dionysus is indeed a god. The Dionysus in Euripides' tale is a young god, angry that his mortal family, the royal house of Cadmus, has denied him a place of honor as a deity. His mortal mother, Semele, was a mistress of Zeus; while pregnant she was killed, through trickery, by Hera, who was jealous of her husband's affair. When Semele died, her sisters said it was Zeus' will and accused her of lying; they also accused their father, Cadmus, of using Zeus as a coverup. Most of Semele's family refuse to believe Dionysus is the son of Zeus, and the young god is spurned in his home. He has traveled throughout Asia and other foreign lands, gathering a cult of female worshipers (Maenads or Bacchantes). At the play's start he has returned, disguised as a stranger, to take revenge on the house of Cadmus. He has also driven the women of Thebes, including his aunts, into an ecstatic frenzy, sending them dancing and hunting on Mount Kithaeron, much to the horror of their families. Complicating matters, his cousin, the young king Pentheus, has declared a ban on the worship of Dionysus throughout Thebes.

Excerpt from Bacchantes: Edited on the Basis of Wecklein's Edition The Bacchantes of Euripides represents the conflict between a flippant scepticism, blinding itself with persistent folly, and a newly-revealed faith, or rather, religious faith in general; for, while the Dionysiac worship, which is the immediate object of the conflict, is a new worship, it is plain that the poet takes the Oppo sitiou to it as but an instance of the refusal of an arrogant ration aliem to recognize the supernatural in general, whether in the ancestral faith or in a new worship. The play is aimed at the sceptical side of the Sophistic movement and kindred tendencies of society at the time. Both the outcome of the action, and the choral odes, which are to be regarded as interpreting the action, show unmistakably that the poet meant to recommend the accep tance of the national faith and traditions as the only ground of a contented and happy life, and to exhibit the mischief of an unsound and irreligious philosophy. These facts give to the sub jcet and its treatment. By Euripides an interest for all time. The relation of such views to those of the poet's earlier works is a question which lies beyond the sphere of this Introduction, as is also any inquiry into the propriety of combining an ethical and an aesthetic motive in the treatment of the subject. The play is one of the poet's last works; it, however, reveals no trace of the weakness of age. Defects there are in the execution of details, as in the other works of Euripides. But, in poetic power in general, the Bacchantes is superior to many, perhaps we may say to any, of the poet's earlier plays. Besides the subject-matter itself, especially interesting features of the play are the skilfully, though simply, constructed plot; the splendid choral odes, expressing the one theme of pious devotion in varying forms following the develop ment of the action; the brilliant pieces of narration in the Mes sengers' speeches, and the striking situation in every scene.

The Bacchantes is a tragedy written by Greek playwright Euripides, which portrays Pentheus as an impious king, for the ruler of Thebes has denied the worship of Dionysus within his city walls. For Pentheus, the god is a destroyer of social and moral values, and the former has returned from abroad only to have his conceptions of the god strengthened. He discovers that this false divinity has caused his women to abandon their domestic roles for the freedom of Mt. Cithaeron in order to worship Dionysus. Despite Pentheus' diligent efforts to maintain control over his people, city, and self, Dionysus proves to be an unstoppable force that the King of Thebes is not able to keep under lock and key.
