2008

This article examines the second messenger narrative in Bacchae, in particular the four occurrences of oratio recta and their relationship to the broader dramatic action. Such a treatment demonstrates that we have Pentheus fully cognizant of his mistakes and his role in his downfall. A similar pattern of action is revealed in final scene of the play with Agave and her release from madness.

Acta Classica, 2018

It has long been recognised by interpreters that Dionysus’ meanings are peculiarly connected with his presence (parousia). Myths of the god typically recount a divine presence undiscerned or misdiagnosed by mortals, with tragic consequences. The vengeful Dionysus of Euripides’ Bacchae comes amongst humans disguised, ironically, to make them learn and recognise his divine identity and that they are in the presence of the truly, if not at first apparently, immortal. The kind of inference that it seems mortals are expected to rely upon in the vicinity of Dionysus in order to secure that all-important knowledge and recognition, is explored in this paper, which is offered as a contribution towards the development of a contemporary anthropology of Greek tragedy and its god. The anthropology of art and agency of Alfred Gell is mobilised in order to explore how different modes of inference are implicitly compared and evaluated in the drama and to suggest what this has to do with the nature of Dionysiac experience as represented by the tragic poet. The inspired inference it requires, envisioned by Euripides at the end of the 5th century, is equated with the logical process of abduction as defined and employed in philo-sophy, semiotics and the anthropology of art.

Allusion to Euripides' Bacchae in the Aeneid is considered in terms of Virgil's poetics of civil war. Aeneas plays the role of Dionysus; Turnus replays Pentheus; Amata alludes to Agave. The Euripidean allusion intersects with echoes of recent Roman history.

This chapter explores the receptions of Hellenism in the twentieth century, particularly its religious, psychological, aesthetic, and political connotations, by focusing on three operatic adaptations of The Bacchae, Karol Szymanowski’s King Roger, Egon Wellesz’s Die Bakchantinnen, and Hans Werner Henze’s The Bassarids, to a libretto by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman.

This chapter is about the afterlife ('reception') of one of the greatest of all Greek tragedies, Euripides' Bacchae, from antiquity to the present day. It appears in the first-ever essay collection devoted to the worldwide reception of this most modern of playwrights. Bacchae is probably Euripides' darkest, most violent play, and it became especially popular from the mid-20th century. In this chapter, I collect and discuss reflections of Bacchae in translations, performances, adaptations, poems, plays, operas, and even paintings, exploring the idea that one focus of the play, in the original performance and in later eras, is violence and change.
