Description "The Bacchae", Euripides last tragedy, is often described as his greatest work. In the play he focuses on Dionysiac myths and cult-worship in order to formulate a comment on the situation of the Antheian world he wrote for - a disillusioned world feeling the strain of a generation of war and attempts to organize public life according to the strict dictates of reason.
