In a play, one of these figures convinces a king to crossdress after that king had chained him in the royal stables. During a trial, one of these figures argues that the mother is the nurse of the seed instead of a true (10[1])parent, before another of these figures casts a tie-breaking vote. (10[3])One of these figures incites his followers to kill his cousin Pentheus in Euripides’ The Bacchae. A crane that lifted these figures (10[1])above the stage partially names (10[1])a plot device where a seemingly (10[1])insurmountable problem (10[1])is abruptly resolved. (10[2])Greek theater emerged from dithyrambs (10[1])(“DITH-uh-rams”) sung to honor one of these figures. For 10 points, name these figures who are “ex machina” or “from the machine” and include Dionysus. ■END■
