Euripides' exploration of the god who transcends boundaries highlights the interplay between divinity, humanity, and the realms of reality and imagination. Charles Segal's analysis delves into the cult, setting, and imagery, revealing the play's deeper implications for myth, language, and theater. He argues that the Dionysiac poetics embody a worldview that embraces logical contradictions, allowing for a unique artistic expression. This reading emphasizes how tragedy can extend beyond its social and historical origins, inviting a richer understanding of its themes.
