The Bacchae 234-237 [10/11/2011]

Today I read pages 234-237 of The Bacchae. The chorus starts by praising Dionysus. Teiresias summons Cadmus and both of them are retiring. Pentheus comes on stage and tells the retired gods that there have been reports of women leaving home to frisk in mock among the thickets on the mountain dancing in honor of Dionysus. He also said that he has captured some of the women and jailed them.

The Bacchae 230-233 [10/10/2011]

Dionysus bound the fawn-skin to the womens flesh and armed their hands with shafts of Ivy. They said that Dionysus was no son of Zues. He hounded all of the women from Thebes up to the mountains where they wondered, crazed of mind, and compelled to wear my origes' livery. Dionysus thinks hes god and hes going to try and prove it to everyone.
