when contrary to your expectation you see the Bacchae acting modestly.
Pentheus
But shall I be more like a maenad holding the thyrsos in my right hand, or in my left?
Dionysus
You must hold it in your right hand and raise your right foot in unison with it. I praise you for having changed your mind.
945
Pentheus
Could I carry on my shoulders the glens of Kithairon, Bacchae and all?
Dionysus
You could if you were willing. The state of mind you had before was unsound, but now you think as you ought.
