| Summary | "Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Volume 6" by Robert Bridges is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This volume includes notable works such as "The Feast of Bacchus," a comedic play structured in the classical tradition, along with other pieces that address various themes and human experiences. The works likely encompass vivid imagery and thoughtful commentary inherent to Bridges' poetic style. The opening of the volume introduces "The Feast of Bacchus," setting the stage with a dialogue between Menedemus and Chremes, two neighbors in a suburb of Athens. Menedemus is seen laboring in his garden while Chremes expresses concern for his well-being, attempting to understand why he works so tirelessly despite having a profitable farm and servants to do the labor. As their conversation unfolds, it reveals the underlying tensions in Menedemus's relationship with his son Clinia, who has left for Persia amid family disputes. Additionally, Chremes seems to play a supportive role, suggesting he wants to help Menedemus and reflecting on the heavy burden of parental responsibilities, setting the stage for themes of familial love, misunderstanding, and societal expectations throughout the play.
