## Description

desertcart.com: The Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite: 9780393325836: Soyinka, Wole: Books

Review: Very Different than Euripides's play - Actually this play by Soyinka is ENTIRELY an adaptation, and contains very little (if any) of the original ancient text. He says in the preface that he borrowed from other translations to make his adaptation. So the below reviewer is mistaken when he says that it is "a pretty faithful adaptation of it". I have studied The Bacchae for years, in the original ancient Greek and in over 8 translations of it, and can say without any hesitation that this is a completely DIFFERENT play than Euripides'. The only things that remain the same are the characters and the flavour of the structure of the original. It is a beautiful "adaptation" nevertheless, but really, nothing can compare to Euripides's!
