What reading level is The Riddle of the Bacchae the Last Stage of Euripides Religious Views book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
148 DR. VERRALL'S WORK [APP. He says, are in this case intentional) should have been offered by Euripides for presentation at the State festival and should have obtained a chorus when offered. One is tempted to suspect that this attractive and elaborate theory is due to a perception of the general inferiority of the tragic power exhibited, combined with the assumption that Euripides could not produce poor work. The application of considerations like these to Shakespeare is a familiar phenomenon... ; the only difference is that in Shakespeare's case the bad passage is condemned as spurious, whereas in Euripides it is extolled as revealing still more secluded recesses of dramatic subtlety. Surely it is more likely that the poet is here attempting a somewhat different kind of play, and has only partially succeeded. The Hercules Furens is remarkable as affording, with the Bacchae (and the Rhesus, if genuine), the most damaging prima facie evidence against Dr. Verrall's theory. He maintains that Euripides' method in general was to keep whatever gods appeared in his play outside the main stream of action, to confine them to the prologue and epilogue, and by doing so to make it plain to acute hearers that he regards these two portions of the play as of little serious value; while in the main body of the play there is no alleged evidence for the existence and power of the traditional gods which is left unrefuted.
