This paper provides a strong affirmative to an old question: does "The Acts of the Apostles" quote Euripides' "Bacchae"? There are enormous consequences alike for the interpretation of "Acts", for the relationship between Christianity and Dionysiac cult, and for our understanding of the missionary methods of the early Christians.

Notes: This paper was extensively trialed both in NT and in Classical seminars and both in the UK, Ireland and the US, where it won general assent. I expect it to make a considerable impact both upon NT and upon Classical scholarship, since it will help to interest Classicists in a very great Greek prose text.
