Aristophanes's Frogs tells the story of the god Dionysus (Larry Blyden), who, despairing of the state of Athens' tragedians, travels to Hades (the underworld) to bring the playwright Euripides back from the dead. He brings along his slave Xanthias (Michael Vale), who is smarter and braver than Dionysus.
