    In the play Bacchae, Euripides describes a world filled with hypnotized citizens—Thebes; a world that consists of a god spreading his religious beliefs and views. For instance, Dionysus, the protagonist of the play, is portrayed as a divine god—god of wine, theater, and happiness.

Through myths we can learn about a culture's values, about why we choose to or not to devote our lives to a religion, and about what these things mean for society as a whole. Miraculously, through myths about people from a different place and time than us, we are able to better understand ourselves here and now.…
