Abstract:

Abstract This paper examines the treatment of violence in Euripides’ Bacchae, particularly in spoken narrative. Bacchae is essentially a drama about violence, and the messenger-speeches establish a dialectic between spectacle and suffering as different conceptions of, and reactions to, violence. The ironic deployment of imagery and allusion, particularly concerning Pentheus’ body and head, presents violence as ambiguous. The exodos then provides a model of compassion, in which knowledge of guilt does not preclude sympathy, nor does ambivalence towards violence. Finally, it is concluded that the paradoxical humanitas of this Dionysiac tragedy is grounded in its presentation of violence as a source first of pleasure, then of pain, allowing spectators to be both entertained and shocked.

Abstract:

Euripides' Bacchae is a play which has intrigued, disturbed and challenged many spectators, readers, theatre practitioners and interpreters. Its spectacular and gruesome aspects in particular have also given rise over the years to notable anecdotes, such as that recorded by Plutarch (Crassus 33) to the effect mat the Roman general's severed head was carried by the Agave actor in a performance of the play at the Parthian court in 53 BC. At times, moreover, arguably on account of such a graphic portrayal of the elemental and destructive forces unleashed by the Dionysus principle, it has been regarded as ‘too hot to handle’. Thus, for example, as Karelisa Hartigan points out, it appears to have made no appearance on the American commercial stage during the first 60 years of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

This paper has two principal, though interrelated, objectives: to survey issues concerning the status of the texts of Greek Tragedy, particularly with respect to specific distinctions between a play as text-based and as audience experienced, between the “eye” of the reader of a play text and the eye of the theatrical spectator; and to consider some implications of these distinctions for Euripidean drama, above all with respect to The Bacchae, since its procedures, albeit more developed or extravagant than elsewhere, may be construed as characteristic for this drama. Much of what I shall say has reference also to the other—Aeschylean, Sophoclean—texts that we have of Greek Tragedy. But it is with Euripides that the terms of the relationship of text and play are most explicit, and controversial, and, it seems to me, most dislocated. We have “read’ Euripides sometimes very wrongly because we have been reading Euripidean texts.

Abstract:

This essay explores Soyinka’s social, political and cultural concerns taking as point of departure his exploration of the role of myth in Yoruba culture and its repercussions in contemporary Nigerian society. In his rewriting of Euripides’ best known tragedy, Bacchae, Soyinka reflects on the impact of the colonial process and on the role of modernday dictatorship in many Third-World countries. Interestingly called The Bacchae of Euripides. A Communion Rite, Soyinka’s play takes the effects of intertextuality to the extreme, not only by taking the Greek tragedy as hypotext, but by relating Euripides’ subversive criticism of Greek imperialism to his own denunciation of colonization and tyranny. Because of its radical use of imagery —such as the fact that the blood which emanates from Pentheus’ head at the end of the play becomes wine and everybody drinks from it—the play was not well received in London in the 1970s, but has been recognized as one of Soyinka’s masterpieces after that.

Abstract:

Absent from Thebes at the first outbreak of Bacchic excitement, King Pentheus returns in haste, deeply troubled by reports of revelry on Mount Cithaeron and accounts of the captivating stranger who has led the Theban women astray (Ba. 212–38). When he meets the stranger he asks him about the appearance of the god (469,477) and the features of the rites (471) and complains that he cannot see the divinity who, the stranger assures him, is right at hand (500,502). Pentheus manifests great eagerness to see the Bacchantes with his own eyes, and it is by playing on this desire that the stranger lures him to Cithaeron and his death (810ff.)

If the text is right, Zeus gave birth to Dionysus, and Zeus then crowned him with snakes. This note argues that the text is corrupt because (i) vase painting shows Dionysus born already crowned, and (ii) the notion that Zeus should crown anyone is quite exceptional. I conclude that in 101 Euripides probably wrote ϲτεφανωθέντα, not ϲτεφάνωϲέν τε.

Abstract:

Euripides’ Bacchae is one of the most intensively studied Greek tragedies. Generations of scholars have explored the play from different perspectives and offered fascinating insights. But there are still aspects that have not received the attention they deserve. One such aspect is Euripides’ use of libation as a dramatic motif. Even though this motif relates directly to the question of the tragic conflict between Dionysus and Pentheus, it has never been discussed in detail and its dramatic impact has not been fully acknowledged.

Abstract:

Liberalism begins with the free individual; the liberal state comes into being in order to preserve that freedom. Part of that freedom, to use the language of John Stuart Mill, is choosing one's own life plan, escaping the forms and lifestyles imposed on us by history or nature. Two texts from ancient Athens—Euripides’ Bacchae and Plato's Republic—explore the challenge posed by what I call “the escape from form.” The Bacchae, while capturing our longing for a freedom from form, portrays the devastation of a city invaded by just that freedom; the Republic, while capturing the epistemological and political need for form, portrays a frightening vision of a city so bound by form that it becomes immobile. Socrates’ self-critique in his reconsideration of the artisan in Republic 10, however, unites the forms his Callipolis demands with the multiplicity of human identities that the god Dionysus brings to Thebes in Euripides’ tragedy.

Abstract:

It is often suggested that the Greek tragedians present clinically credible pictures of mental disturbance. For instance, some modern interpreters have compared the process by which Cadmus brings Agave back to sanity in Euripides’ Bacchae with modern psychotherapy. But a reading of medical writers’ views on the psychological dimension of medicine offers little evidence for believing that these scenes reflect the practices of late fifth-century Athenian doctors, for whom verbal cures are associated with older traditions of non-rational thought, and thus are scorned in favor of more “scientific cures” based on diet or medication. This paper will argue that Athenian tragedians, working from older traditions that advocated verbal cures for some mental ailments, do understand the potential psychological effects that their work can have on audiences, since tragedy requires psychological interaction with its audience in order to be effective. From a close reading of select scenes in Euripidean tragedy, this paper suggests that the experiences of the characters who experience suffering in Euripides’ Heracles and Bacchae are analogues of the experiences undergone by the spectators of tragedy at large. Parallels are made between the way that Agave and Heracles are both talked back to sanity by looking upon what has happened, and the way that tragedians make their audiences observe lamentations and meditations that follow the central tragic act, to help them return from the intense emotion provoked, perhaps, by the violence they have seen.

Despite the long period which separate these two works and authors, one will notice that there are similarities and analogies which can be traced between the two “tragedies”, indicating that a more detailed study of them is worthwhile and can shed a new light in our understanding of them as single pieces. Throughout this work it will be discussed how Nelson Rodrigues appropriates Euripides’ text in <em>Senhora dos Afogados</em>. We realize that the appropriation of the Greek text was done through analogies, inversions and/ or dislocations, and we see that there is not a copy of the Greeks tragic model, but, on the contrary, that there are coincidences. Nelson Rodrigues aims not to sacralize the classic model, but searches for a new reality, which causes ruptures with the tradition.</p><p>KEYWORDS: tragedy; <em>Bacchae</em>; Euripides; <em>Senhora dos Afogados</em>; Nelson Rodrigues.</p>

Newly available in paperback in 2018, Simon Perris’ The Gentle, Jealous God. Reading Euripides’ Bacchae in English, sets out to ‘adumbrate a new cultural history for this classic play’ (20). While, as the author points out, the Bacchae has received attention in recent years from reception scholars interested in its performance history – including Erika Fischer-Lichte's 2014 Dionysus Resurrected – less has been written on translated versions or adaptations which are intended primarily for reading rather than performance. Perris’ work moves the conversation forward by examining in detail a series of case studies, while touching on many more examples in the course of his discussion.

Abstract:

The concept of androgyny appears in social psychology as an adaptive mixture of masculine and feminine traits unlinked to any age-specific schedule of development. The life cycle developmental view of androgyny is that sex-typed behavior is found early in the life cycle, in response to the “chronic emergency of parenthood,” but that in later life each sex recaptures the prerogatives surrendered earlier in adulthood—women recovering managerial, assertive traits, and men becoming more responsive to their needs for nurturance and dependency. This article proposes a reconciliation of social and developmental models of androgyny based on an analysis of Greek tragedy. The Bacchae, written by Euripides in his old age, suggests that the androgynous individual is advantaged throughout the life cycle, as social psychologists would claim today. However, the fate of Pentheus at the hands of Dionysus suggests that anxieties over the androgynous potential of the self may be heightened in young adulthood and ebb later in life, consistent with developmental observations of sex-typed behavior in young adulthood which gives way to the “normal unisex of later life.” A review of androgyny in psychoanalytic theory and literary criticism shows that recognition of androgyny is not new, but that each recognition has been short-lived—a problem in the sociology of knowledge which suggests that the fear of androgyny reaches into the scientific community.

Abstract:

The article discusses A Mouthful of Birds by Caryl Churchill and David Lan in terms of its relation to its Greek inspiration: Euripides’ Bacchae. Contrary to Michael Billington’s opinion that the fascination with the classics which dominated the 1980s theatre in Britain led to the emergence of an ‘interpretative culture’ motivated by artists’ inability to address current political issues, the article analyses a 1980s play that uses its classical source precisely to make political statements. In the course of the article the intertextual links between A Mouthful of Birds and The Bacchae are analysed with special focus on the politics motivating the modern text. Julie Sanders’ theory of literary appropriation is used to discuss selected themes addressing feminist, postcolonial and gender politics.

Abstract On the basis of a controversial passage from Euripides’ Bacchae, this paper raises again the question to what extent the two onomatopoeias ἀλαλά and ὀλολυγή are strictly related to one or the other sex. The valorization of the sound meanings of these cries as they emerge from the contexts in which they are used opens up new perspectives of interpretation.

Full text

Abstract:

This article analyses the role of the prophet Teiresias in the Bacchae of Euripides in the particular context of sophistic influence. It views the originality of the prophet’s depiction as reflective of Euripides’ creative self-consciousness within an agonistic genre that relied on the malleability of ancient myth, particularly towards the end of tragedy’s “golden era”. Our particular aim is to present the prophet independently of the Sophoсlean background against which Teiresias is often viewed, and as a more complex figure than a (not especially satisfactory) radicalization of his earlier incarnations. The prophet in Bacchae is a liminal figure poised between tragedy and comedy, man and god, male and female, tradition and innovation. As such he parallelsmany of the “doublings” characteristic of Dionysus himself. The analysis re-examines the extent and nature of the comedy in the early Teiresias–Cadmus–Pentheus scene (170–369) in the context of the most recent scholarship. It then offers a close examination of the so-called sophistic speech by the prophet (266–327) within the framework of contemporary attitudes to sophism and how this has unfairly influenced scholarly perception of Teiresias’s authority as a dramatic character. The argument aims to establish Teiresias’s incarnation as both fifth-century intellectual and representative of traditional values. He thus reflects the tension between old and new in the integration of Dionysiac religion in mythical Thebes.

Abstract:

In 1974, the maverick German director Klaus-Michael Grüber created a remarkable (and much remarked-upon) production of Die Bakchen (The Bacchae) at Berlin's Schaubühne theatre. It was then, and remains to date, the most significant German-language production of, and indeed one of the very few attempts to stage, Euripides' final play in Germany. This essay will attempt to trace the history of German abstention fromthe play and analyze how Grüber's Bacchae responded to that history of ambivalence and neglect, for what was played out in Grüber's mise-en-scène was not only the conflict between Pentheus and Dionysus for the soul of Thebes, but indeed, upon the rapidly shifting cultural and political ground of West Germany, a deeper conflict between mimesis and authenticity, presence and representation, and the soul of the theatre. The first volley in this conflict had been fired more than one hundred years before by Friedrich Nietzsche.

Abstract:

Este artigo é em um sumário da obra Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite [Bacantes de Eurípedes: Um Rito de Comunhão], de Wole Soyinka, uma reescritura dramática nigeriana de As Bacantes, de Eurípides. Esta análise, que identifica as similaridades e as discrepâncias entre os antigos mitos e deuses gregos e a cosmogonia e os rituais iorubás, estará concentrada na ideia de que o drama é o meio ideal de expressão social e política dentro de um espaço pós-colonial. Os seguintes aspectos das Bacchae de Soyinka serão levados em consideração: a relação entre o protótipo clássico e a sua versão iorubá (a recontextualização de tempo, espaço e personagens; as similaridades e as discrepâncias entre os antigos mitos e deuses gregos e a cosmogonia e o folclore iorubás); o sincretismo cultural e metafísico; terceiro e último, a metamorfose da identidade do mito, isto é, a desconstrução dos cânones e temas ocidentais tradicionais, substituídos por rituais pré-coloniais. O resultado é um teatro sincrético.

Abstract:

This article’s focus consists on the study of Two tragedies: Euripides’ Bacchae and Nelson Rodrigues’ Senhora dos Afogados. Despite the long period which separate these two works and authors, one will notice that there are similarities and analogies which can be traced between the two “tragedies”, indicating that a more detailed study of them is worthwhile and can shed a new light in our understanding of them as single pieces. Throughout this work it will be discussed how Nelson Rodrigues appropriates Euripides’ text in Senhora dos Afogados. We realize that the appropriation of the Greek text was done through analogies, inversions and/ or dislocations, and we see that there is not a copy of the Greeks tragic model, but, on the contrary, that there are coincidences. Nelson Rodrigues aims not to sacralize the classic model, but searches for a new reality, which causes ruptures with the tradition.
