211 ὅδ᾽... ἀλλ': 'he won't show himself for that: well, then....' Hunt, who prefers ὁ δ', makes Silenus the speaker, and treats τοῖσιν as masculine. But, in holding that τοῖσιν cannot be instrumental (causal), he undoubtedly goes too far: see the passages quoted on 154 and esp. Antiph. 5. 3 ἄπιστοι γενόμενοι τοῖς ἀληθέσιν αὐτοῖς τούτοις ἀπώλοντο.

Cyllene emerges from the cave.¹

Cyllene

Satyrs, why have you rushed up here making all this noise, on this mountain covered with green woods full of animals? Have you got yourselves a new job? You used to bring joy to your master², who would put on a fawn skin and carry a thyrsus in his hands. You would dance around the god shouting Evoe, along with the nymphs, who are his family, and a crowd of children. But now I don’t know what you’re doing. Where is this whirlwind

of new craziness taking you? I heard something odd: first, nearby, orders like you’d give to hunting dogs when they get near a wild animal’s den in a thicket; then, at the same time, stretched out from the mouth to the thief . Then announcement . After that they went away, feet stomping, and a confused sound came from nearby. It would be different if
230

So I heard the sounds of wrong notes you sick you did to a nymph that had nothing to do with it? 10
