P., ISBN 3161538137, ISBN-13 9783161538131, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In this analysis of Euripides’ tragedy Bacchae, the author explores examples of transformative historical moments related to Bacchae and others texts by Greeks, Jews, Romans, and Christians. The author seeks to counter traditional historical dichotomies between pagan, Jew, and Christian, showing how Hellenistic Jews and early Christians evoked the tragedy in the service of their own ideologies. Early chapters overview Dionysus and the Dionysiac religion, the history of Euripides’ Bacchae, and how Dionysus and tragic drama functioned as sites of conflict in antiquity. The rest of th examines six themes, looking at Euripides’ Bacchae and other texts for each theme. Themes include imperial self-identification with Dionysus, and Euripidean images of religious ecstasy and violence. Distributed by Coronet Books. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
