Bacchae

Euripides

Euripides. The Tragedies of Euripides. Vol. I. Buckley, Theodore Alois, translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1850.

  1. daughter; and yet you cannot easily fare well.
Agave
  1. Lead me, escorts, where I may take my pitiful sisters as companions to my exile. May I go where accursed Kithairon may not see me,
  2. nor I see Kithairon with my eyes, nor where a memorial of a thyrsos has been dedicated; let these concern other Bacchae.
Chorus
  1. Many are the forms of divine things, and the gods bring to pass many things unexpectedly;
  2. what is expected has not been accomplished, but the god has found out a means for doing things unthought of. So too has this event turned out.
