I am from Turkey. And I am very interested in the Greek Mythology. Euripides is one of the wonderful playwriters that I like. The Bacchae is really a wonderful play too. So much dramatically and exciting.. Thanks a lot for the upload..

i always wanted to watch this ancient tragedy!i've read it 3 times!now they will show it in greece by the orpheus troupe!

that guy is the farthest thing from Dionysus ive ever seen. Although he has good diction, he looks like a cross between an uber nerd and a university prof.

nothing can change the power of the greek word in the ancient tragedy
