Publisher's Synopsis
The Riddle of the Bacchae is a book written by Gilbert Norwood in 1908. The book is an analysis of the play Bacchae by Euripides, which is considered to be one of the greatest tragedies in Greek literature. Norwood explores the religious views of Euripides, particularly in the last stage of his life. The book delves into the symbolism and themes present in the play, including the role of Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. Norwood argues that the play is a reflection of Euripides' own beliefs and his questioning of traditional Greek religion. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in Greek literature, mythology, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
