About this listen



In The Bacchae, the god Dionysus returns to Thebes to avenge his mother’s dishonor. Disguised as a mortal, he drives the women of Thebes, including the king’s mother, Agave, into a frenzied worship. King Pentheus, who refuses to acknowledge Dionysus’s divinity, tries to imprison him. However, Dionysus lures Pentheus into the mountains, where his own mother and aunts, in a state of madness, mistake him for a wild animal and tear him apart. The play explores themes of divine power, pride, and the dangers of repression. Summary By Mentor New York
