T1 La liberación de Dioniso y la destrucción del palacio de Penteo en Las Bacantes de Eurípides (Bacch 576-637)
A1 González Merino, Juan Ignacio
AB In this work, we try to demonstrate how the Foreigner / Dionysius’ liberation and the destruction of the palace in Bacchantes were described by Euripides with such a dose of ambiguity that they can be interpreted in two completelydifferent ways: In one hand, the tautological one, —both events have been thegod’s miracles— which might have been the interpretation of the audience in theancient times and it is also the reading of the modern critics; on the other hand,the rational one, that is, what has happened, has only been a series of tricks ofthe Foreigner. By proposing this second interpretation we are based both on thecircumstances which surround the Foreigner’s imprisonment (darkness in the stables,overexcitement, nearly madness, of Penteo) and on the absolute respect to the manuscripts, according to which, for instance, in v. 630, the Foreigner / Dionysiusdoes not make a «ghost» (favsm j) as it appears in Jacobs’ corrected version,followed by most editors) but a «light» (fw'", as we can read in the manuscriptsL and P).
