10 Dionysus God of wine God of theatre God of fertility and abundance (thyrsus: symbol of the god s potency) God of transformation
11 Dionysus as God of Theatre Teiresias on Dionysus: This new god, whom you ridicule no words of mine Could well express the ascendancy he will achieve In Hellas (Greece) (p.200)
12 Dionysus Dionysus s origin Born twice Half mortal ( I have all that the god prescribes. He is my daughter s son ) His identity: both foreign and Greek that effeminate foreigner (p.203) instructor in lunacy
13 Dionysus CHORUS: (Dionysus) Whose gifts are joy and union of soul in dancing, Joy in music of flutes Joy when sparkling wine at feasts of the gods Soothes the sore regret, Banishes every grief, When the reveller rests, enfolded deep In the cool shade of ivy-shoots, On wine s soft pillow of sleep. (p. 204)
14 mountain dancing at night, drinking tearing apart of animal/human eating of raw flesh Surrender of self: ekstasis ( standing outside of oneself ) I ll run them / wild with ecstasy! Worship of Dionysus
15 The Apollonian and the Dionysian Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy (1872): Apollonian: form, structure, control, rational thought, reason, beauty, protection from the Dionysian Dionysian: wildness, irrationality, intoxication, loss of self, animalism, sexuality, lust, cruelty
16 The Apollonian and the Dionysian Dualities in the Bacchae - City and Mountain - Balance and Madness - Order and Chaos - Peace and Violence - Civic authority and Divine authority - Resistance and Acceptance - Speech (Logos) and Beyond Logos - Disguise and Recognition
17 The Bacchae CHORUS What you have said, Teiresias, shows no disrespect To Apollo; at the same time you prove your judgement Sound In honouring Dionysus as a mighty god. CADMUS My dear son Even if, as you say, Dionysus is no god, Let him have your acknowledgement; lie royally, That Semele may get honour as having borne a god, And credit come to us and to all our family. with a wreath of ivy; join us in worshipping this god. (p.202)
18 Worship of Dionysus Teiresias..Dionysus will not compel Women to be chaste, since in all matters self-control Resides in our own natures. (p. 201) Herdsman on companies of women (Agave, Io, Autonoe): and they all lay Relaxed and quietly sleeping Modestly, not as you told us drunk with wine Or flute-music, seeking the solitary woods For the pursuit of love. (p. 215)
19 Worship of Dionysus Messenger: Agave was foaming at the mouth; her rolling eyes Were wild; she was not in her right mind, but possessed By Bacchus. It was no strength of hers that did it, but the god Filled her, and made it easy.
20 Cross-Dressing Dionysus on Pentheus: While sane, he ll not consent to put on woman s clothes; Once free from the curb of reason, he will put them on. (p. 222)
21 Productions of the Bacchae Dionysus in 69, R. Schechner
22 Questions What sort of God is Dionysus compared to the divine in the Genesis and Gilgamesh? What are the dangers of loss of self / ekstasis? Is the play hopeful about the relationship between the Dionysian and human morality? What is the role of reason and madness in the play? What does Euripides think about the women in his society? Has peace been restored by the death of Pentheus?
