The Bacchae Sixth Episode Summary
Dionysus, no longer disguised as a mortal, appears in all his glory.
He tells Cadmus and Agave what their fate will be.
Cadmus, along with his wife, will be turned into a snake. He will drive a chariot and lead barbarian hordes to attack lots of Greek cities.
Agave begs for mercy.
Dionysus shows none and tells her she is banished from the city.
Cadmus laments his terrible fate.
He tells his banished daughter to go the house Aristaeus, his sister's husband.
Sadly, Cadmus and Agave part ways.
The Chorus sings of the power of the gods.
