The Bacchae (Ancient Greek: Βάκχαι Bakchai; also known as The Bacchantes) is an ancient Greek tragedy by the Athenian playwright Euripides during his final years in Macedonia at the court of Archelaus I of Macedon. It premièred posthumously at the Theatre of Dionysus in 405 BC as part of a tetralogy that also included Iphigeneia at Aulis and Alcmaeon in Corinth and which Euripides’ son or nephew probably directed.
