i know the hot topic is Emily Wilson's ODYSSEY translation but has anyone else read her BACCHAE (Euripides)? because hooooolyyyyy shit it's good 🍇

A.C. Esguerra

the language is very direct, beautiful, violent. helpful notes give context specific to Athens ~500 BC, but the play's commentary on political/religious/sexual freedom reads fresh, modern, bizarre, like a queer A24 horror. Dionysus is chaotic and a whole Gender. anyway read it and get back to me
