Dionysus was the greek god of wine, theatre, fertility and celebrations. His father was Zeus, god of the sky and all olympians, and his mother was the princess of Theban, Semele. She was a mortal, making Dionysus the only god born of a mortal parent.

Dionysiac values are vindicated by the illumination of the consequence of a mortal acting so impiously towards this god: a gruesome, violent death. Dionysus is more powerful than Pentheus, something the mortal does not reconcile, and he pays the price for this irreverence towards Dionysus. The people of Thebes do not understand than Dionysus is a god and does not abide by Earthly concepts of justice and fairness. The violent conclusion also serves as a means for Dionysus to exact revenge on the non-believers of Thebes in that if Pentheus hadn’t been excessive in his hatred for the Bacchae, and had joined Tiresias and Cadmus in their worship of Dionysus, he would have evaded a terrible amount of suffering.

Euripides lived and wrote for the duration of the Dionysian incursion from the East. This means that Euripides’s The Bacchae indicates Dionysus 's still unfinished incorporation into Greek spiritual and public doctrines. The Bacchae represents a deadly melee concerning the dichotomy between regulator and self-autonomy and permits Dionysus to deliver a solution to this problem. His tragedy counter-argues the problem of whether it is imaginable for a part of the well-structured social order to be enthusiastic in indulging in an illogical space. After Dionysus became customary, he became connected with community customs such as theater, wine celebrations, social equality, and overall merriment.
