		Teiresias denies Pentheus' claims about the orgies in the mountains, although admittedly Dionysus does not compel a woman to be chaste.
		The sage Teiresias, often depicted in Greek drama as awe-inspiring and infallibly wise, is here depicted as vulnerable, a somewhat pathetic blind old man who needs to be led by another pathetic old man. He is right about Bacchus, but his authority seems undermined by his shrewdness.
