Euripides, Bacchae, 450-491

ἐς τάσδε Θήβας. σοὶ δὲ τἄλλα χρὴ μέλειν. Πενθεύς

full of many wonders. You must take care of the rest. Pentheu

μέθεσθε χειρῶν τοῦδʼ· ἐν ἄρκυσιν γὰρ ὢν

Release his hands, for caught in the nets he is not so swift as to escape me. But your body is not ill-formed, stranger, for women’s purposes, for which reason you have come to Thebes .

οὐκ ἔστιν οὕτως ὠκὺς ὥστε μʼ ἐκφυγεῖν.

Release his hands, for caught in the nets he is not so swift as to escape me. But your body is not ill-formed, stranger, for women’s purposes, for which reason you have come to Thebes .

nan	Release his hands, for caught in the nets he is not so swift as to escape me. But your body is not ill-formed, stranger, for women’s purposes, for which reason you have come to Thebes .

ὡς ἐς γυναῖκας, ἐφʼ ὅπερ ἐς Θήβας πάρει·

Release his hands, for caught in the nets he is not so swift as to escape me. But your body is not ill-formed, stranger, for women’s purposes, for which reason you have come to Thebes .

πλόκαμός τε γάρ σου ταναός, οὐ πάλης ὕπο

For your hair is long, not through wrestling, scattered over your cheeks, full of desire; and you have a white skin from careful preparation, hunting after Aphrodite by your beauty not exposed to strokes of the sun, but beneath the shade.

γένυν παρʼ αὐτὴν κεχυμένος, πόθου πλέως·

λευκὴν δὲ χροιὰν ἐκ παρασκευῆς ἔχεις

οὐχ ἡλίου βολαῖσιν, ἀλλʼ ὑπὸ σκιᾶς

τὴν Ἀφροδίτην καλλονῇ θηρώμενος.

πρῶτον μὲν οὖν μοι λέξον ὅστις εἶ γένος. Διόνυσος

First then tell me who your family is. Dionysu

οὐ κόμπος οὐδείς· ῥᾴδιον δʼ εἰπεῖν τόδε.

I can tell you this easily, without boasting. I suppose you are familiar with flowery Tmolus. Pentheu

τὸν ἀνθεμώδη Τμῶλον οἶσθά που κλύων. Πενθεύς

I can tell you this easily, without boasting. I suppose you are familiar with flowery Tmolus. Pentheu

οἶδʼ, ὃς τὸ Σάρδεων ἄστυ περιβάλλει κύκλῳ. Διόνυσος

I know of it; it surrounds the city of Sardis . Dionysu

ἐντεῦθέν εἰμι, Λυδία δέ μοι πατρίς. Πενθεύς

PENTHEUS: What makes thee bring these mysteries to Hellas? DIONYSUS: Dionysus, the son of Zeus, initiated me. PENTHEUS: Is there a Zeus in Lydia, who begets new gods? DIONYSUS: No, but Zeus who married Semele in Hellas. PENTHEUS: Was it by night or in the face of day that he constrained thee? DIONYSUS: 'Twas face to face he intrusted his mysteries to me. PENTHEUS: Pray, what special feature stamps thy rites? DIONYSUS: That is a secret to be hidden from the uninitiated. PENTHEUS: What profit bring they to their votaries? DIONYSUS: Thou must not be told, though 'tis well worth knowing. PENTHEUS: A pretty piece of trickery, to excite my curiosity! DIONYSUS: A man of godless life is an abomination to the rites of the god. PENTHEUS: Thou sayest thou didst see the god clearly; what was he like? DIONYSUS: What his fancy chose; I was not there to order this. PENTHEUS: Another clever twist and turn of thine, without a word of answer. DIONYSUS: He were a fool, methinks, who would utter wisdom to a fool. PENTHEUS: Hast thou come hither first with this deity? DIONYSUS: All foreigners already celebrate these mysteries with dances. PENTHEUS: The reason being, they are far behind Hellenes in wisdom. DIONYSUS: In this at least far in advance, though their customs differ.

ἐντεῦθέν εἰμι, Λυδία δέ μοι πατρίς. Πενθεύς

I am from there, and Lydia is my fatherland. Pentheu

πόθεν δὲ τελετὰς τάσδʼ ἄγεις ἐς Ἑλλάδα; Διόνυσος

Why do you bring these rites to Hellas ? Dionysu

Διόνυσος ἡμᾶς εἰσέβησʼ, ὁ τοῦ Διός. Πενθεύς

Dionysus, the child of Zeus, sent me. Pentheu

Ζεὺς δʼ ἔστʼ ἐκεῖ τις, ὃς νέους τίκτει θεούς; Διόνυσος

Is there a Zeus who breeds new gods there? Dionysu

οὔκ, ἀλλʼ ὁ Σεμέλην ἐνθάδε ζεύξας γάμοις. Πενθεύς

No, but the one who married Semele here. Pentheu

πότερα δὲ νύκτωρ σʼ ἢ κατʼ ὄμμʼ ἠνάγκασεν; Διόνυσος

Did he compel you at night, or in your sight? Dionysu

ὁρῶν ὁρῶντα, καὶ δίδωσιν ὄργια. Πενθεύς

Seeing me just as I saw him, he gave me sacred rites. Pentheu

τὰ δʼ ὄργιʼ ἐστὶ τίνʼ ἰδέαν ἔχοντά σοι; Διόνυσος

What appearance do your rites have? Dionysu

ἄρρητʼ ἀβακχεύτοισιν εἰδέναι βροτῶν. Πενθεύς

They can not be told to mortals uninitiated in Bacchic revelry. Pentheu

ἔχει δʼ ὄνησιν τοῖσι θύουσιν τίνα; Διόνυσος

And do they have any profit to those who sacrifice? Dionysu

οὐ θέμις ἀκοῦσαί σʼ, ἔστι δʼ ἄξιʼ εἰδέναι. Πενθεύς

It is not lawful for you to hear, but they are worth knowing. Pentheu

εὖ τοῦτʼ ἐκιβδήλευσας, ἵνʼ ἀκοῦσαι θέλω. Διόνυσος

You have counterfeited this well, so that I desire to hear. Dionysu

ἀσέβειαν ἀσκοῦντʼ ὄργιʼ ἐχθαίρει θεοῦ. Πενθεύς

The rites are hostile to whoever practices impiety. Pentheu

τὸν θεὸν ὁρᾶν γὰρ φῂς σαφῶς, ποῖός τις ἦν; Διόνυσος

Are you saying that you saw clearly what the god was like? Dionysu

ὁποῖος ἤθελʼ· οὐκ ἐγὼ ʼτασσον τόδε. Πενθεύς

He was as he chose; I did not order this. Pentheu

τοῦτʼ αὖ παρωχέτευσας εὖ κοὐδὲν λέγων. Διόνυσος

Again you diverted my question well, speaking mere nonsense. Dionysu

δόξει τις ἀμαθεῖ σοφὰ λέγων οὐκ εὖ φρονεῖν. Πενθεύς

One will seem to be foolish if he speaks wisely to an ignorant man. Pentheu

ἦλθες δὲ πρῶτα δεῦρʼ ἄγων τὸν δαίμονα; Διόνυσος

Did you come here first, bringing the god? Dionysu

πᾶς ἀναχορεύει βαρβάρων τάδʼ ὄργια. Πενθεύς

All the barbarians celebrate these rites. Pentheu

φρονοῦσι γὰρ κάκιον Ἑλλήνων πολύ. Διόνυσος

Yes, for they are far more foolish than Hellenes. Dionysu

τάδʼ εὖ γε μᾶλλον· οἱ νόμοι δὲ διάφοροι. Πενθεύς

PENTHEUS: Is it by night or day thou performest these devotions? DIONYSUS: By night mostly; darkness lends solemnity. PENTHEUS: Calculated to entrap and corrupt women. DIONYSUS: Day too for that matter may discover shame. PENTHEUS: This vile quibbling settles thy punishment. DIONYSUS: Brutish ignorance and godlessness will settle thine. PENTHEUS: How bold our Bacchanal is growing! a very master in this wordy strife! DIONYSUS: Tell me what I am to suffer; what is the grievous doom thou wilt inflict upon me? PENTHEUS: First will I shear off thy dainty tresses. DIONYSUS: My locks are sacred; for the god I let them grow. PENTHEUS: Next surrender that thyrsus. DIONYSUS: Take it from me thyself; 'tis the wand of Dionysus I am bearing. PENTHEUS: In dungeon deep thy body will I guard. DIONYSUS: The god himself will set me free, whene'er I list. PENTHEUS: Perhaps he may, when thou standest amid thy Bacchanals and callest on his name. DIONYSUS: Even now he is near me and witnesses my treatment. PENTHEUS: Why, where is he? To my eyes he is invisible. DIONYSUS: He is by my side; thou art a godless man and therefore dost not see him. PENTHEUS: Seize him! the fellow scorns me and Thebes too. DIONYSUS: I bid you bind me not, reason addressing madness.

τάδʼ εὖ γε μᾶλλον· οἱ νόμοι δὲ διάφοροι. Πενθεύς

In this at any rate they are wiser; but their laws are different. Pentheu

τὰ δʼ ἱερὰ νύκτωρ ἢ μεθʼ ἡμέραν τελεῖς; Διόνυσος

Do you perform the rites by night or by day? Dionysu

νύκτωρ τὰ πολλά· σεμνότητʼ ἔχει σκότος. Πενθεύς

Mostly by night; darkness conveys awe. Pentheu

τοῦτʼ ἐς γυναῖκας δόλιόν ἐστι καὶ σαθρόν. Διόνυσος

This is treacherous towards women, and unsound. Dionysu

κἀν ἡμέρᾳ τό γʼ αἰσχρὸν ἐξεύροι τις ἄν. Πενθεύς

Even during the day someone may devise what is shameful. Pentheu

δίκην σε δοῦναι δεῖ σοφισμάτων κακῶν. Διόνυσος

You must pay the penalty for your evil contrivances. Dionysu

σὲ δʼ ἀμαθίας γε κἀσεβοῦντʼ ἐς τὸν θεόν. Πενθεύς

And you for your ignorance and impiety toward the god. Pentheu

ὡς θρασὺς ὁ βάκχος κοὐκ ἀγύμναστος λόγων. Διόνυσος

How bold the Bacchant is, and not unpracticed in speaking! Dionysu
