¡Oh dios de muchos nombres, que de la ninfa Cadmea eres orgullo, y del altitonante Júpiter hijo; que te complaces de vivir en la inclita ínclita Italia y reinas en los valles, comunes a todos, de Ceres Eleusinia! ¡Oh Baco, que habitas en Tebas, metrópoli de las bacantes, junto a la liquida líquida corriente del Ismeno, donde fueron sembrados los dientes del feroz dragón!

O thou of many names, glory of the Cadmeian bride, offspring of loud-thundering Zeus! thou who watchest over famed Italia, and reignest, where all guests 1120 are welcomed, in the sheltered plain of Eleusinian Deé! O Bacchus, dweller in Thebè, mother-city of Bacchants, by the softly-gliding stream of Ismenus, on the soil where the fierce dragon’s teeth were sown! 1

Go thou, nor others with this charge entrust.
1115
Instant I go. You, my attendants, haste,
1115
With axes in your hands haste to the plain...
And I (since now my sentence is reversed)
Who bound her, will in person set her free....
I fear that to preserve the ancient laws
Through all his life is man's discreetest part.
1120
O thou by various names renown'd,
1120
The Theban Nymph's illustrious grace,
Sprung from enraptur'd Jove's embrace,
While all his awful thunders roll'd around;
Who joy'st thy richest gifts to pour
O'er blest Italia's favour'd shore,
And on the hallow'd Eleusinian plain
Where Ceres waves her ripen'd gold,
1125
With her thy mystic reign dost hold;

1115. mvp-comment-644-1 In the excitement of a desperate hope caused by the late repentance of Creon, the chorus break forth into a joyous invocation to Dionysus, accompanied with dancing or gesticulation, as appears in comparing the similar canticle in Aj. 693, where the chorus are under the excitement of a similar delusive expectation. Cp. Tr. 205-224. The Dionysiac worship, of which the tragic poet is a votary, is associated with the mystic hopes which Creon denied, supr. 780.

1115. mvp-comment-644-2 Glory of Semele, child of Zeus, Thou that tendest Campania And rulest in Eleusis' mystic vale, Dwelling, where thy votaries dwell, In Thebes by Ismenus' waters, Presiding o'er the dragon's brood: Seen o'er the forked height By the pitchy flame, Where move the Bacchic nymphs of Corycus, Where is the Castalian fount: And ushered on thy way to visit Thebe's roads By the ivy-clad banks of Nysean mountains, And the bloomy shore with many a cluster, While the shout of the immortal strain resounds. Thebè thou honourest far above all cities, Thou and thy mother whom the lightning glorified. And now that our whole multitude Is overtaken by misfortune dire, Appear with healing tread, Over the Parnassian steep Or groaning narrow sea. Thou that leadest up the dance of the fire-breathing stars, Visitant of nightly voices, Son born of Zeus, Rise with thy attendant Maenads, Who, all night long. Celebrate thee with dances, Iacchus, the dispenser of their joys.

1115. mvp-comment-644-3 This ode has been variously arranged. The arrangement in the text is that of Böckh, with a few slight changes. a'. First strophe and antistrophe. ICICIC lululuclalalclcl luclcla 5----- 다 !トーート​し​cita ICICーートト β'. Second strophe and antistrophe. ト​CICICに The prevailing rhythm is logaoedic, with frequent syncope (or antispastic movement), long syllables in thesi, and occasional resolution both of arsis and thesis. Each strophe begins with an anacrusis.

1115. mvp-comment-644-4 πολυώνυμε Schol. ὦ Διόνυσε· οἱ μὲν γὰρ Βάκχον, οἱ δὲ Ιακχον, οἱ δὲ Λύαιον, οἱ δὲ Εὔιον, οἱ δὲ Διθύραμβον αὐτὸν καλοῦσιν. Bacchus is claimed as a Theban God, and at the same time, the wide extent of his dominion is celebrated.
