104 Is it because he is the father of freedom to drinkers? For most people become bold and are abounding in frank speech when they are in their cups. Cf.Moralia, 716 b. Or is it because he has provided the means for libations?

104 Or is it derived, as AlexanderMüller, Frag. Hist. Graec. iii. p. 244; Alexander Polyhistor. asserts, from Dionysus Eleuthereus, Cf. the inscription on the chair of the priest of Dionysus in the theatre at Athens,Ἱερεῶς Διονύσου Ἐλευθερέως. so named from Eleutherae in Boeotia?

105 For what reason is it not the custom for maidens to marry on public holidays, but widows do marry at this time? Cf. Macrobius, Saturnalia, i. 15. 21.

105 Is it, as Varro has remarked, that maidens are grieved over marrying, but older women are glad, and on a holiday one should do nothing in grief or by constraint?

105 Or is it rather because it is seemly that not a few should be present when maidens marry, but disgraceful that many should be present when widows marry? Now the first marriage is enviable: but the second is to be deprecated, for women are ashamed if they take a second husband while the first husband is still living, and they feel sad if they do so when he is dead. Wherefore they rejoice in a quiet wedding rather than in noise and processions. Holidays distract most people, so that they have no leisure for such matters.
