Why are the songs in Euripides’ Bacchants especially admired?

The songs in Euripides’ Bacchants (also known as Bacchae) are especially admired for their remarkable lyric power.2

While Euripides’ later works often featured lyrics that became increasingly emotional and luxuriant, the songs in Bacchants are considered unsurpassed in their beauty and power because they are perfectly suited to the play's themes of frenzied emotion and religious ecstasy. These odes effectively capture the intense, often subconscious forces at work during the group frenzy depicted in the tragedy.12
