One of the great works of world drama, Euripides "The Bacchae" has mesmerized audiences for over 2000 years.  In the play, the god Dionysus returns to Thebes, his mortal mother’s city, to introduce his cult and punish his relatives who have denied his divinity as the son of Zeus.

What is the play really about and why is it still relevant today?
