NOTES ON THE BACCHÆ
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Euripides and Buckley, Theodore Alois
AG. Terribly indeed has king Bacchus brought this misery upon thy house.
BAC. [Ay,] for I have suffered terrible things from ye, having a name unhonored in Thebes.
AG. Farewell, my father.
CAD. And you farewell, O miserable daughter; yet you can not easily arrive at this.
AG. Lead me, O guides, where I may take my miserable sisters as the companions of my flight; and may I go where neither accursed Cithæron may see me, nor I may see Cithæron with my eyes, and where there is no memory of the thyrsus hallowed, but they may be a care to other Bacchæ.
CHOR. There are many forms of divine things; and the Gods bring to pass many in an unexpected manner: both what has been expected has not been accomplished, and God has found out a means for doing things unthought of. So, too, has this event turned out.[70]
