argonauticae:greek drama » the bacchaetherefore i have plagued these same sisters with madness, and driven them all frantic out of doors; now their home is in the mountains and their wits are gone. i made them carry the emblems of my mysteries, and the whole female population of thebes, every woman there was in the town, i drove raving from their homes; now they have joined the daughters of cadmus, and there they are, sitting roofless on the rocks beneath the silver firs. thebes must learn, unwilling though she is, that my bacchic revels are something beyond her present knowledge and understanding. -- source link
