banishing customs that are outside of justice. Let manifest justice go forth, let it go with sword in hand, slaying through the throat
this godless, lawless, unjust, earth-born offspring of Echion.
1017
Chorus
Appear as a bull or many-headed serpent or raging lion to see.
Go, Bacchus, with smiling face throw a deadly noose around the hunter of the Bacchae as he falls beneath the flock of Maenads.
1024
Second Messenger
Oh house once fortunate in Hellas,
