| ἔκδημος ὢν μὲν τῆσδ’ ἐτύγχανον χθονός, κλύω δὲ νεοχμὰ τήνδ’ ἀνὰ πτόλιν κακά, γυναῖκας ἡμῖν δώματ’ ἐκλελοιπέναι πλασταῖσι βακχείαισιν, ἐν δὲ δασκίοις ὄρεσι θοάζειν, τὸν νεωστὶ δαίμονα Διόνυσον, ὅστις ἔστι, τιμώσας χοροῖς· |
| I happened to be out of the country when I heard the news of new problems for our city, that our wives had left their houses in fabricated Dionysian rituals and were running round in the wooded mountains, honouring this new god Dionysus, whoever he is, with their dancing. |
| Euripides Bacchae 215-220 |
