"The Bacchae" is a gripping ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides that explores themes of madness, divinity, and the duality of human nature. The story revolves around King Pentheus of Thebes, who refuses to acknowledge the divinity of Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy. In response, Dionysus, in disguise, leads Pentheus to witness the frenzied Bacchae—his own mother and a group of women—who have succumbed to his intoxicating influence. As the boundaries between civilization and savagery blur, the play culminates in a devastating tragedy that illustrates the peril of denying the primal instincts within humanity and the consequences of hubris.
