by James Morgan Pryse (Author)

The Adorers of Dionysos: The Bakchai of Euripides is a book written by James Morgan Pryse. It is a retelling of the Greek tragedy, The Bacchae, written by Euripides in 405 B.C. The story follows the arrival of the god Dionysos in Thebes and his introduction of his followers, the Bacchae, to the city. The king of Thebes, Pentheus, is skeptical of Dionysos and his followers, and tries to suppress their worship. However, the Bacchae, led by Dionysos, prove too powerful for Pentheus to handle, and the king ultimately meets a tragic end.
