Long-haired Semele, who died in the roar of the thunderbolt, lives among the Olympians; Pallas is her constant friend, and indeed so is father Zeus, and she is loved by her ivy-crowned son. And they say that even in the sea, among the ocean-daughters of Nereus, immortal life [30] is granted to Ino for all time. Truly, for mortal men at least, the time when we will reach the limit of death is by no means fixed, nor when we will bring a peaceful day, the sun's child, to an end in unworried well-being. But at various times various currents, both of pleasure and of toil, come to men. [35] In such a way does Fate, who keeps their pleasant fortune to be handed from father to son, bring at another time some painful reversal together with god-sent prosperity, since the destined son met and killed Laius, and fulfilled the oracle of Pytho, spoken long before. But the sharp-eyed Erinys saw it, and destroyed his warlike sons through mutual slaughter. Yet Polyneices, when laid low, left behind him a son, Thersander, honored in youthful contests and in the battles of war, [45] a scion to defend the house of the descendants of Adrastus. And it is fitting that the son of Aenesidamus, whose roots grew from that seed, should meet with songs of praise and with the lyre. For in Olympia he himself received a prize of honor; at Pytho |

Rumor in ambiguo est: aliis violentior aequo 3.254. visa dea est, alii laudant dignamque severa 3.255. virginitate vocant; pars invenit utraque causas. 3.256. Sola Iovis coniunx non tam culpetne probetne 3.257. eloquitur, quam clade domus ab Agenore ductae 3.258. gaudet et a Tyria conlectum paelice transfert 3.259. in generis socios odium. Subit ecce priori 3.260. causa recens, gravidamque dolet de semine magni 3.261. esse Iovis Semelen. Dum linguam ad iurgia solvit, 3.262. “profeci quid enim totiens per iurgia?” dixit: 3.263. “ipsa petenda mihi est, ipsam, si maxima Iuno 3.264. rite vocor, perdam, si me gemmantia dextra 3.265. sceptra tenere decet, si sum regina Iovisque 3.266. et soror et coniunx, certe soror. At, puto, furto est 3.267. contenta, et thalami brevis est iniuria nostri: 3.268. concipit, id deerat! manifestaque crimina pleno 3.269. fert utero, et mater, quod vix mihi contigit uno 3.270. de Iove vult fieri: tanta est fiducia formae. 3.271. Fallat eam faxo; nec sum Saturnia, si non 3.272. ab Iove mersa suo Stygias penetrabit in undas.” 3.273. Surgit ab his solio fulvaque recondita nube 3.274. limen adit Semeles. Nec nubes ante removit, 3.275. quam simulavit anum posuitque ad tempora canos 3.276. sulcavitque cutem rugis et curva trementi 3.277. membra tulit passu; vocem quoque fecit anilem, 3.278. ipsaque erat Beroe, Semeles Epidauria nutrix. 3.279. Ergo ubi captato sermone diuque loquendo 3.280. ad nomen venere Iovis, suspirat et “opto, 3.281. Iuppiter ut sit” ait: “metuo tamen omnia: multi 3.282. nomine divorum thalamos iniere pudicos. 3.283. Nec tamen esse Iovem satis est: det pignus amoris, 3.284. si modo verus is est, quantusque et qualis ab alta 3.285. Iunone excipitur, tantus talisque, rogato, 3.286. det tibi complexus suaque ante insignia sumat.” 3.287. Talibus ignaram Iuno Cadmeida dictis 3.288. formarat. Rogat illa Iovem sine nomine munus. 3.289. Cui deus “elige” ait: “nullam patiere repulsam. 3.290. Quoque magis credas, Stygii quoque conscia sunto 3.291. numina torrentis: timor et deus ille deorum est“. 3.292. Laeta malo nimiumque potens perituraque amantis 3.293. obsequio Semele “qualem Saturnia” dixit 3.294. “te solet amplecti, Veneris cum foedus initis, 3.295. da mihi te talem.” Voluit deus ora loquentis 3.296. opprimere: exierat iam vox properata sub auras. 3.297. Ingemuit; neque enim non haec optasse, neque ille 3.298. non iurasse potest. Ergo maestissimus altum 3.299. aethera conscendit vultuque sequentia traxit 3.300. nubila, quis nimbos inmixtaque fulgura ventis 3.301. addidit et tonitrus et inevitabile fulmen. 3.302. Qua tamen usque potest, vires sibi demere temptat; 3.303. nec, quo centimanum deiecerat igne Typhoea, 3.304. nunc armatur eo: nimium feritatis in illo est. 3.305.

But Zeus loved Semele and bedded with her unknown to Hera. Now Zeus had agreed to do for her whatever she asked, and deceived by Hera she asked that he would come to her as he came when he was wooing Hera. Unable to refuse, Zeus came to her bridal chamber in a chariot, with lightnings and thunderings, and launched a thunderbolt. But Semele expired of fright, and Zeus, snatching the sixth-month abortive child from the fire, sewed it in his thigh. On the death of Semele the other daughters of Cadmus spread a report that Semele had bedded with a mortal man, and had falsely accused Zeus, and that therefore she had been blasted by thunder. But at the proper time Zeus undid the stitches and gave birth to Dionysus, and entrusted him to Hermes. And he conveyed him to Ino and Athamas, and persuaded them to rear him as a girl. But Hera indigtly drove them mad, and Athamas hunted his elder son Learchus as a deer and killed him, and Ino threw Melicertes into a boiling cauldron, then carrying it with the dead child she sprang into the deep. And she herself is called Leucothea, and the boy is called Palaemon, such being the names they get from sailors; for they succour storm-tossed mariners. And the Isthmian games were instituted by Sisyphus in honor of Melicertes. But Zeus eluded the wrath of Hera by turning Dionysus into a kid, and Hermes took him and brought him to the nymphs who dwelt at Nysa in Asia, whom Zeus afterwards changed into stars and named them the Hyades. 3.4.3.

Autonoe and Aristaeus had a son Actaeon, who was bred by Chiron to be a hunter and then afterwards was devoured on Cithaeron by his own dogs. He perished in that way, according to Acusilaus, because Zeus was angry at him for wooing Semele; but according to the more general opinion, it was because he saw Artemis bathing. And they say that the goddess at once transformed him into a deer, and drove mad the fifty dogs in his pack, which devoured him unwittingly. Actaeon being gone, the dogs sought their master howling lamentably, and in the search they came to the cave of Chiron, who fashioned an image of Actaeon, which soothed their grief.

Dionysus discovered the vine, and being driven mad by Hera he roamed about Egypt and Syria . At first he was received by Proteus, king of Egypt, but afterwards he arrived at Cybela in Phrygia . And there, after he had been purified by Rhea and learned the rites of initiation, he received from her the costume and hastened through Thrace against the Indians. But Lycurgus, son of Dryas, was king of the Edonians, who dwell beside the river Strymon, and he was the first who insulted and expelled him. Dionysus took refuge in the sea with Thetis, daughter of Nereus, and the Bacchanals were taken prisoners together with the multitude of Satyrs that attended him. But afterwards the Bacchanals were suddenly released, and Dionysus drove Lycurgus mad. And in his madness he struck his son Dryas dead with an axe, imagining that he was lopping a branch of a vine, and when he had cut off his son's extremities, he recovered his senses. But the land remaining barren, the god declared oracularly that it would bear fruit if Lycurgus were put to death. On hearing that, the Edonians led him to Mount Pangaeum and bound him, and there by the will of Dionysus he died, destroyed by horses. 3.5.1.

Having traversed Thrace and the whole of India and set up pillars there, he came to Thebes, and forced the women to abandon their houses and rave in Bacchic frenzy on Cithaeron. But Pentheus, whom Agave bore to Echion, had succeeded Cadmus in the kingdom, and he attempted to put a stop to these proceedings. And coming to Cithaeron to spy on the Bacchanals, he was torn limb from limb by his mother Agave in a fit of madness; for she thought he was a wild beast. And having shown the Thebans that he was a god, Dionysus came to Argos, and there again, because they did not honor him, he drove the women mad, and they on the mountains devoured the flesh of the infants whom they carried at their breasts. 3.5.3. And wishing to be ferried across from Icaria to Naxos he hired a pirate ship of Tyrrhenians. But when they had put him on board, they sailed past Naxos and made for Asia, intending to sell him. Howbeit, he turned the mast and oars into snakes, and filled the vessel with ivy and the sound of flutes. And the pirates went mad, and leaped into the sea, and were turned into dolphins. Thus men perceived that he was a god and honored him; and having brought up his mother from Hades and named her Thyone, he ascended up with her to heaven. |

The likeness of Aeschylus is, I think, much later than his death and than the painting which depicts the action at Marathon Aeschylus himself said that when a youth he slept while watching grapes in a field, and that Dionysus appeared and bade him write tragedy. When day came, in obedience to the vision, he made an attempt and hereafter found composing quite easy. 2.37.5. I saw also what is called the Spring of Amphiaraus and the Alcyonian Lake, through which the Argives say Dionysus went down to Hell to bring up Semele, adding that the descent here was shown him by Palymnus. There is no limit to the depth of the Alcyonian Lake, and I know of nobody who by any contrivance has been able to reach the bottom of it since not even Nero, who had ropes made several stades long and fastened them together, tying lead to them, and omitting nothing that might help his experiment, was able to discover any limit to its depth. |
