Dionysus, the youthful god of wine, returns to his birthplace of Thebes after establishing his cult in the east. Accompanied by a chorus of Bacchantes, he seeks to vindicate his mother Semele—rejected by her family when she claimed Zeus was the father of her child. Determined to reveal his divinity, Dionysus demands proper worship from the Theban legion and aims to restore his mother’s honor.
