About this book
Dionysus comes home to Thebes disguised as a mortal because the city refuses to call him a god. His cousin Pentheus, young and confident in his own reason, outlaws the new worship and jails the stranger. What follows is a slow inversion of everything the king believes about control: the god drives the women of Thebes into ecstasy on Mount Cithaeron, then coaxes Pentheus into a woman's dress and up the mountain to spy on them, where his own mother, out of her mind, mistakes him for a lion. Euripides wrote it in Macedonia at the end of his life, and Athens saw it only after his death, in 405 BCE.
