Pentheus has banned the wild, ritualistic worship of the god Dionysos. A stranger arrives to persuade him to change his mind. Euripides’ electrifying tragedy is a struggle to the death between freedom and restraint, the rational and the irrational, man and god.

        and many the surprises wrought by gods.

        What seemed likely did not happen.

        But for the unexpected a god found a way.

        That’s how this went

        today.

          Gods should not resemble humans in their anger.

            To accept that we are mortal

            helps us live without pain.
