As is well known, the "Bacchae" is the only surviving work related to the god Dionysus. Here, myth and history unite and are rendered in a poetic manner.
The worship of the god Dionysus is presented in its primal form, in the aspect associated with the dithyramb, the choral song of the god from which tragedy was born.
The "Bacchae" is one of the most complete and comprehensive works of world dramaturgy, as it combines three fundamental elements: the tragic, the dramatic, and the theatrical.
Through this work, Euripides returns to the method and style of his youth and creates a piece that is considered the matrix where the conception, incubation, and birth of the art of arts takes place, which is protected by Dionysus, the god of tragedy.
At the end of his creative journey, the poet presents the tragic with a consistency not found elsewhere in his poetry.
