Classic bilingual collection. Fascinating Bacchae! The term is not too strong. The Orient, the music, the rhythm of the dulcimers, the promise of deliverance, Bacchus finally, and the wandering of the Maenads in the mountains, hunting game. Hunting man? Could it be possible that there, at hand, was the solution to our miseries? Is this then the gospel? Could there be a good madness? Alas, tragic history works and decides. Good and bad madness are only the inseparable two-sided of the same illusion. Yet, Bacchus is there, smiling. Old Euripides tiptoes away from this story. Everything is ready for a new beginning.
