    Mount Cithaeron Viewpoint

    The mountain where Euripides set the Bacchae - the terrifying play about King Pentheus destroyed by Dionysus for resisting his worship. Pentheus's mother Agave, maddened by the god, tore her own son apart on these slopes. The mountain overlooks both Thebes and Attica, marking the boundary between mythological worlds.
