Stasimon 5

[Choral]

Let us honor Bacchus with the dance, let us raise a shout for what has befallen

Chorus

Pentheus, descendant of the serpent, who assumed female attire and the wand, the beautiful thyrsos—certain death—and a bull was the leader of his calamity. 1155

Kadmean Bacchae, you have accomplished a glorious victory, but one that brings woe and tears. It is a noble contest to cover one’s dripping hands with the blood of one’s own son. 1160

Chorus Leader

But, for I see Pentheus’ mother Agave coming home, her eyes contorted, receive the revel of the god of joy! 1165

Agave

Asian Bacchae—

Chorus

Why do you excite me, oh?

Agave

I am bringing home from the mountain a

freshly cut tendril to the house, blessed prey. 1170

Chorus

I see it and will accept you as a fellow reveler.

Agave
