I've been putting aside drama things for inclusion in a later ClassiCarnival, but this blurb from the Times-Dispatch just jarred the old synapses too much ... it's an announcement for a performance of the Bacchae:

Euripides' classic comedy centers on the clash between the possessed worshippers of Dionysus and the priggish Pentheus, king of Thebes.


Nya harn nya harn nya harn ... ye gods ... immediately after that one comes this excerpt from the Concord Monitor:

Meier, who ran the Performance Ensemble Group at Rundlett Middle School for eight years before moving to the high school in the fall, told the students that thinking of them and their production has helped her cope with her illness. She quoted the tragedian Euripides, who said, "Know thyself and dress accordingly."


... did Euripides ever say anything remotely resembling that???
