An exploration of the tenebrous world of mythic desire and mythic apocalypses, which speaks allegorically to us of a universe on the brink of destruction and of the End of History. This would come as no surprise to those familiar with the eschatological dimension of Euripides' Bacchae, which concludes with an ominous prophecy of doom. Nor with the corresponding dimension found in many texts of the Old and New Testaments, as well as in Northern, Nordic, and especially Scandinavian mythology. Yet Papakonstantinou's work merely uses the Bacchae as a starting point and follows its own, uniquely distinct path.
