The Bacchae (Plays for Performance Series)

by Euripides

And they say that some stranger has come hither, a juggler, a charmer, from the Lydian land, fragrant in hair with golden curls, florid, having in his eyes the graces of Venus, who days and nights is with them, alluring the young maidens with Bacchic mysteries—but if I catch him under this roof, I will stop him from making a noise with the thyrsus, and waving his hair, by cutting off his neck from his body.

you have a rapid tongue, as if wise, but in your words there is no wisdom;

this God is a prophet—for Bacchanal excitement and frenzy have much divination in them.
