		Feeling that they had seen and heard enough, the sailors, mad with fright, threw themselves into the sea and were changed into dolphins.

		Pentheus and Bacchus: Compared to Euripides' play the Bacchae, Ovid's Pentheus (whose father was Echion, one of the original Thebans born of the dragon's teeth sown by Cadmus) is totally unsympathetic, not driven mad by the god but spies on the women out of wicked curiosity.
		Bacchus plays no active role in his death; his spokesman Acoetes is clearly not the god in disguise, as is the priest in the play.
		Pentheus deserves his fate, whereas Actaeon his cousin does not.
