Production notes: 
It is not certain that Sophocles wrote a Bacchae, see TrGF4, p.170. If he did then no fragments survive and we do not know when this play was first produced. The date range given here is based on Sophocles' first competition (Mar. Par) and his last (Life of Euripides 2). It is assumed here that the play would have been performed in Athens.
