Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel,
saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city,
because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Dem. 19 200 then the junior clerk, doing the dirty work of public offices for a few
shillings a month: and at last, not so long ago, the parasite of the greenrooms,
eking out by sponging what you earned as a player of trumpery parts! What is the
life you will claim, and where have you lived it, when such is too clearly the
sort of life you really have lived? And then the assurance of the man! Bringing
another man1 before this court on a charge of unnatural crime! However, I
will let that go for the present. First read these depositions.“

Eur. Ba. 215 I happened to be at a distance from this land, when I heard of
strange evils throughout this city, that the women have left our homes
in contrived Bacchic rites, and rush about in the shadowy mountains,
honoring with dances [220] this new deity Dionysus, whoever he is. I
hear that mixing-bowls stand full in the midst of their assemblies, and
that they each creep off different ways into secrecy to serve the beds
of men, on the pretext that they are Maenads worshipping; [225] but
they consider Aphrodite before Bacchus.
And they say that some stranger has come, a sorcerer, a conjuror from the Lydian land,
[235]
fragrant in hair with golden curls, having in his eyes the wine-dark graces of Aphrodite.

But here is another wonder—I see Teiresias the soothsayer in dappled

sense. Won't you cast away the ivy? Grandfather, will you not free your
hand of the thyrsos? [255] You persuaded him to this, Teiresias. Do you
wish, by introducing another new god to men, to examine birds and
receive rewards for sacrifices? If your gray old age did not defend
you, you would sit in chains in the midst of the Bacchae, [260] for
introducing wicked rites. For where women have the delight of the

Not only in our holy Athens

Plat. Rep. 363d they entertain the

and his race thereafter never fail. Such and such-like are their praises of
justice.
