The Internet Classics Archive | The Bacchantes by Euripides |
 | | The direr thy tale about the Bacchantes, the heavier punishment will I inflict on this fellow who brought his secret arts amongst our women. |
 | | the presumption of these Bacchantes is upon us, swift as fire, a sad disgrace in the eyes of all Hellas. |
 | | Pentheus, thou that art so cager to see what is forbidden, and to show thy zeal in an unworthy cause, come forth before the palace, let me see thee clad as a woman in frenzied Bacchante's dress, to spy upon thy own mother and her company. |
