"Here the fruits of intensive and sustained scholarship are combined with a sophisticated awareness of current critical theory to offer a powerful reading of one of the greatest plays of the tradition... Segal offers an exemplary instance of the fusion of traditional scholarship and current critical practice."--Cyrus Hamlin, Recherches Semiotiques/Semiotic Inquiry "Well-written and well-documented, based on extensive reading and intensive study, [the book] reveals the Bacchae as a much more beautiful, more interesting, and more important play than has thus far been realized."--W. J. Verdenius, Mnemosyne
