Of Minotaur masks and men…where is life truly lived? On the stage or in the heart?
In Athens, the Great Dionysia festival rouses citizens with wine, song, theater, and debauchery. Politics and scandal paint deep shadows across the portrait of the city, and wolves in sheep’s clothing roam the streets and stage.
