An Ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, produced posthumously around 405 BCE, in which the god Dionysus punishes the city of Thebes and its king Pentheus for denying his divinity, driving the Theban women into ecstatic, destructive worship. It is long regarded as one of the most powerful surviving Greek tragedies.
