The play centers on Dionysus, who returns to Thebes to exact revenge on his family for rejecting his divinity. It delves into themes of power, religion, and the perils of unchecked desire, showcasing Euripides' mastery of poetic language and complex character development. This 1885 translation by Gilbert Murray includes an introduction that offers historical context, followed by the play's scenes with stage directions. Regarded as a classic of classical literature, it remains relevant and widely studied today.
