Euripides - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

In a play by this author, a king is convinced to crossdress in order to spy on a group of women who had used their thyrsi to draw milk and honey from the ground. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this author of a play in which a woman believes she has ripped a mountain lion to pieces, but realizes it was actually her son. Another of his plays ends as the title character flees on a divine chariot pulled by dragons.

ANSWER: Euripides (The plays are The Bacchae and Medea.)

[10e] The title women of Euripides’s The Bacchae comprise this homogeneous group of performers. Ancient Greek plays often include this group of characters, who speak as one to provide information or comment on the action.

ANSWER: Greek chorus [or chorós]

[10h] The war between Polyneices and Eteocles prevents a group of pilgrims from making it to Delphi in this other Euripides play, whose title also refers to its chorus.

ANSWER: The Phoenician Women [or Phoinissai]
