Bacchae

內容簡介

內容簡介 《酒神的女信徒》基本上呈現宗教與政治的衝突，但因所有希臘神祇中，酒神的性質最為複雜又最多層面，劇情隨之顯得浩瀚深邃。書中一方面回應希臘的歷史與傳說，酒神來到希臘要建立自己的新教，遭到國王彭休斯的強烈反對；另一方面，它也是人類政治與宗教發展的縮影，其前瞻性至今仍可成為處理類似衝突的指南針。尤瑞匹底斯與索福克勒斯、埃斯庫羅斯被喻為希臘悲劇三大師，其知名經典劇目如《梅狄亞》等至今仍是劇場演出或小說創作的靈感來源。"Poochigian’s translation is a triumph—a remarkably lucid and vibrant rendition... The script’s language is precise yet sonorous, expertly constructed in iambic pentameter to both moving and chilling effect." — Aram Kouyoumdjian, Asbarez"By far the most theatrically assured rendition of the play I’ve encountered. The fluid translation by Aaron Poochigian is as mercurial as the staging." — Charles McNulty, The Los Angeles Times

作者介紹

作者介紹 EuripidesEuripides, the youngest of the three great Athenian playwrights, was born around 485 BC of a family of good standing. He first competed in the dramatic festivals in 455 BC, coming only third; his record of success in the tragic competitions is lower than that of either Aeschylus or Sophocles. There is a tradition that he was unpopular, even a recluse; we are told that he composed poetry in a cave by the sea, near Salamis. What is clear from contemporary evidence, however, is that audiences were fascinated by his innovative and often disturbing dramas. His work was controversial already in his lifetime, and he himself was regarded as a ‘clever’ poet, associated with philosophers and other intellectuals. Towards the end of his life he went to live at the court of Archelaus, king of Macedon. It was during his time there that he wrote what many consider his greates work, the Bacchae. When news of his death reached Athens in early 406 BC, Sophocles appeared publicly in mourning for him. Euripides is thought to have written about ninety-two plays, of which seventeen tragedies and one satyr-play known to be his survive; the other play which is attributed to him, the Rhesus, may in fact be by a later hand.Aaron PoochigianAaron Poochigian has published four books of poetry, including American Divine, which won the 2020 Richard Wilbur Poetry Award, and several translations. He lives in New York.
