It’s not about intellectual prowess, it’s not about true and false, it’s pure release. It’s your life night and day free of grief: Dionysos’ gift.

Anne Carson and Euripides, Bakkhai [Amazon, Bookshop, Publisher, Local Library]

Hermetic quote Carson Euripides Bakkhai not intellectual prowess true false pure release life day night free of grief Dionysos' gift

Consider also:

  1. “We intend to dance for Dionysos, yes. It’s the right thing to do. You must be out of your mind to go to war with a god like this. “
  2. “Dionysos: My eyes were wide open. He teaches the mysteries personally. Pentheus: What form do these mysteries take? Dionysos: That’s a secret. Not for the uninitiated. Pentheus: And for the initiated, do they do some good? Dionysos: You cannot know that. But it is worth knowing. “
  3. “That’s why I’ve changed to mortal form — how do I look? Convincingly human?”
