I am hugely jealous, of course. Sophocles is my man, but the Oresteia and the Bacchae are both pure masterpieces.

Also, I have learned that the Bacchae is home to "the most overwhelming use of γε" (I love that such a concept even exists); it's when Agave brings Pentheus' head back and says something like "it's a lion's head - or at least that's what they tell me."
