Antigone BakkhaiAntigone
Oedipus, the former ruler of thebes, has died. Now, when his young daughter antigone defies her uncle, Kreon, the new ruler, because he has prohibited the burial of her dead brother, she and he enact a primal conflict between young and old, woman and man, individual and ruler, family and state, courageous and self-sacrificing reverence for the gods of the earth and perhaps self-serving allegiance to the gods of the sky.

Top of PageBakkhai
Regarded by many as euripides' masterpiece, Bakkhai is a powerful examination of religious ecstasy and the resistance to it. a call for moderation, it rejects the temptation of pure reason as well as pure sensuality, and is a staple of Greek tragedy, representing in structure and thematics an exemplary model of the classic tragic elements. Disguised as a young holy man, the god Bacchus arrives in Greece from asia proclaiming his godhood and preaching his orgiastic religion. He expects to be embraced in thebes, but the theban king, Pentheus, forbids his people to worship him and tries to have him arrested. enraged, Bacchus drives Pentheus mad and leads him to the mountains, where Pentheus' own mother, agave, and the women of thebes tear him to pieces in a Bacchic frenzy.
