  1. And how will I go through the city without being seen by the Thebans?
Dionysus
  1. We will go on deserted roads. I will lead you.
Pentheus
  1. Anything is better than to be mocked by the Bacchae. We two will go into the house . . . and I will consider what seems best.
Dionysus
  1. It will be so; in any case I am ready.
Pentheus
  1. I will go in. For either I will go bearing arms, or I will obey your counsels.
