CLASSICS 103G: Advanced Greek: Euripides

Euripides' Bacchae stages a unique homecoming: the god of wine and theater himself, Dionysus, confronts his mortal family in disguise, bringing chaos, ecstasy, and horror to Thebes. Dionysus' human cousin Pentheus serves as his foil and?eventually?sacrificial victim in a lush exploration of the unstable binaries between reason and madness, restraint and freedom, masculine and feminine, Greek and non-Greek, human and divine. This course will focus on reading the play in its original Greek, with additional context and discussion around fifth century theater, mystery cult, and reception of the Bacchae from Byzantine tragedy to Dionysus in '69 to Donna Tartt's The Secret History. Classics majors and minors must take the course for a letter grade. It may be repeated for credit with advance approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
