The Bacchae of Euripides is a play written by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, and this particular edition was translated into English by Gilbert Murray and published in 1920. The play tells the story of King Pentheus of Thebes who refuses to worship the god Dionysus and forbids the worship of him in his kingdom. Dionysus, angered by Pentheus' actions, decides to punish him and his people by driving them mad with his powers. This leads to chaos and destruction in Thebes, with Pentheus ultimately meeting a tragic end. The play explores themes such as the dangers of denying the divine and the consequences of arrogance and hubris. Gilbert Murray's translation is considered one of the most significant and influential translations of the play into English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
