For her, the Apollonian expression reached a high point in the production of Aeschylus' 'Oresteia', with it's concept of a rational code of justice.
The 'Oresteia' appeared during a time of vigor for classical Greece. The 'Bacchae', on the other hand was written during a period of decline, and according to Paglia, parodies the idealism of Aeschylus. She Paglia associates the Dionysian frenzy of the 'Bacchae' with the drugs, rock music, and rebelliousness of the 's. It is a "panorama of intoxication, delusion, and self-destruction". She equates the conquest by Dionysus with the repressed id erupting to wreak vengeance on the Apollonian super-ego of sharply defined form and rationality.
After reading the play, I must say I think it surely merits these colorful comparisons, for it rivals anything produced by the psychedelic '60's.
Most of the time I try to give my own impressions of a book more weight in interpreting its meaning, but I think in the case of ancient Greek drama we have little choice but to pay more heed to the opinions of expert critics. We are so far removed from the cultural factors which produced these works it is impossible to penetrate very deeply without help from the experts.
I'm sure there are many worthwhile commentators other than the two I mentioned, but without their help, the 'Bacchae' would have remained an interesting, but bizarre and murky mystery to me. Usually, Bryn Mawr commentaries come with the Greek text. The information on Amazon says that the book is 28 pages. In fact the book I received was 21 pages and is only a commentary - it is missing the Greek text. The poor rating in this review does not refer to the quality of commentary by Beth Causey but the fact that I expect commentaries to have a copy of the Greek text, and I expect books I order to be the same number of pages as stated in the information on Amazon.
Several of the reviews here seem to be of a different book altogether since they refer to an English translation of the text. Customer service is our top priority!. Seller: GF Books, Inc.
