The Bacchae of Euripides (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995194182)

This new translation of Euripides' The Bacchae by Margaret Behr and Robert Banks Foster brings ancient Greek mythology to a new generation of readers. Bacchus, the god of wine, infects his revelling adherents to the brink of madness, but he will neither be disrespected nor snubbed by the ruling family of Thebes. When Pentheus tries to prevent the women of Thebes from partaking in Bacchian rituals, the resulting tragedy destroys his family, sending the survivors into exile.
