Raging Bacchae
Ευριπίδης, Βάκχαι, στ. 409
“...Και κει που απλώνεται η θεσπέσια Πιερία, ο τόπος των Μουσών, η σεπτή πλαγιά του Ολύμπου. Εκεί οδήγησέ με, Διόνυσε Διόνυσε, κορυφαίε των χορών μου και θεέ των ευάν. Εκεί ζουν οι Χάριτες, εκεί ο Πόθος. Εκεί και οι βάκχες ελεύθερες να τελούν τα όργια...”
Euripides, Bacchae, lyr. 409
“...inspired god who leads the Bacchae, lead me away to lovely Pieria, where Muses dwell, or to Olympus’ sacred slopes, where Graces live, Desire, too, where it’s lawful and appropriate to celebrate our rites with Bacchus...”
