Shall We Begin?


"The bacchae"


by Euripides


This is Tebas, my Mom's town, funded long Time ago by my Grandfather Cadmus son of Agenor and brother of Europa. Enter Cadmus and the blind prophet Tiresias as old men. They are going to the Cithaeron mountain to celebrate Dionysos' rite, paticipating in bacchanalia in body and heart. But then, enter Pentheus (played by Heracles)
and laugh of them. "I have forbiden those rites and parties, didn't you know? And I will put that @Bromius in chains for making the chaos grow. Even my dear mother is chanting and dancing completely naked and drunk!!"



Tiresias (John C. Hume) and Cadmus (Stan Buturla): Patronage
Heracles (Pentheus): Patronage

So, King Pentheus an his brave men, took Dyonisos or Me as prisoner and also to my Maenads but I'd set them free. I was talking with Pentheus about the Nature of the gods and how he must to each one of Them give honors and prays. But he insisted in the falseness of my divinity... And He put me in Jail!! So, Hybris was there!! :/



(Police Forces' patronage)

Once in prison there was no option but put that Palace in Flames!!



(Special FX)

Once free I was again with Pentheus laughting at Him when a messenger came with horrid news.
All my Maenads and Bacchae, including Agave Pentheus' Mother, were terrorizing villages and towns, making fires without burning, drinking animals' blood. With a helpless and crying Pentheus I said to the Messenger: "Leave Us alone!"



For these scene I invited Sir Ian Mackellen to play Pentheus and Desmond Hill as Me
Here's the Patronage
The Messenger is for everybody known.

Pentheus was ready to receive any suggestion through soft and pleasant words, so I convinced Him to see with his own Eye the nature of Dionysos' Maenads and Bacchae and visit Cithaeron mountain with a special costume in which He would be never recognized... And I helped Him a little with the design!! <3




(Dress and Make Up)

And thus Pentheus went to face the unknown, finding that you must never be superb with a God.




(Agave, Ino and Pentheus Courtesy by Douris)

Triumphant Agave returned from Dionysos' celebrations and mysteries and bring a Trophy with her, but She was in Ecstasy, She was full of Joy and She was blind. She, who denied the divinity of her sister Semele's child, Myself... Her own son She horribly killed him herself!!




(Agave and her son once She recognize the Tragedy)

Only shame and despair remained for Cadmus and Agave, father and daughter and them exile themselves from Tebas finishing this drama full of peripeteia, catharsis and lots of tears.




(And this beautiful scene and All "The bacchae" play, you can find it Here)

Thanks for Staying my Finest Audience!! I'll see you on the next!!

DIONYSUS! I've come quick: the Gods are angry with you; they have taken the mighty Herakles, sapped him of his colorful spirit, and replaced it with 21st century ennui! Help!

He won't even drink anymore. Apparently forever. I know he's been drinking literally forever and thats why I come, I've known him to let a droplet plummet from beard.

And he wiped it up with a god damn paper towel. Help m'lord.

Oh, my Dear, that was bold and gross!! :/

Oh, my Dear Brother, that situation requires all of mine Divine attention to be inmediately resolved!! I'll take the challenge and stay colorless for seven days with mighty Heracles!! For Me sounds Great!!!! ;)
