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 (-5[1])of the seed (-5[1])instead of a true parent, before another of these figures casts a tie-breaking vote. One of these figures incites his followers to kill his cousin Pentheus in Euripides’ The Bacchae.
