A bold new translation of Euripides shockingly modern classic work, from Forward Prizewinning poet, Robin Robertson, with a new introduction by bestselling and awardwinning writer, critic and translator Daniel Mendelsohn.Thebes has been rocked by the arrival of Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy. Drawn by the gods power, the women of the city have rushed to worship him on the mountain, drinking and dancing with frenzied abandon.Pentheus, the king of Thebes, is furious, denouncing this socalled god as a charlatan and an insurgent. But no mortal can deny a god, much less one as powerful and seductive as Dionysus, who will exact a terrible revenge on Pentheus, drawing the king to his own tragic destruction.This stunning translation by awardwinning poet Robin Robertson reinvigorates Euripides masterpiece. Updating it for contemporary readers, he brings the ancient verse to fervid, brutal life, revealing a work of art as devastating and relevant today as it was in the fifth century, BC.
