Dionysiac Poetics and Euripides' Bacchae: Expanded Edition Expanded edition
Charles Segal
In his play "Bacchae", Euripides chooses as his central figure the god who crosses the boundaries among god, man, and beast, between reality and imagination, and between art and madness. This book builds gradually from concrete details of cult, setting, and imagery to the work's implications for the nature of myth, language, and theater.
