商品簡介
This contemporary retelling of Euripides' The Bacchae —
the last extant Greek tragedy — relates the classic myth of
the god Dionysus with the playful yet dangerous lyricism
of the original. Dionysus, son of Zeus and god of wine and
dance, returns to his native city of Thebes. While the city's
women are enchanted by his powers, Pentheus, King of
Thebes, is determined to end their revelry. But destiny
wills otherwise, and a horrific nightmare unfolds. Exquisite
illustrations heighten the aesthetic appeal of this beautiful
handcrafted book. Illustrations inspired by classic pottery
of ancient Athens
Poetic, modern re-telling of ancient
Greek myth

Greek mythology
