Lyric Poetry
In the heart of Thebes, a new madness takes root. Women, cloaked in wild abandon, vanish into the mountains, thralls to the intoxicating god Dionysus. King Pentheus scoffs at their fervor, clinging to order and reason. But the god himself walks unseen among them, a whirlwind of ecstasy and vengeance. Will Pentheus defy the divine? Will the city erupt in a frenzy of ritual and bloodshed? Euripides' "The Bacchae" is a chilling exploration of religious fervor, the clash of civilization and wildness, and the intoxicating power that lies dormant within us all.
