Adorers of Dionysos: Bakchai

Translated from the Greek of Euripides with an Original Interpretation of the Myth of Kadmos. The Bakchai were the followers of Bakchos, also named Dionysos, the God of Seership and reputed founder of the sacred Mysteries. Those who were initiated in these Mysteries were called Bakchoi, since the initiate was said to become one with his God. Illustrated by J. Augustus Knapp.
