Cadmus: You and your sisters slew him.

Agave: And where did he die, in the house, or in what place?

Cadmus: Where formerly the dogs tore Actaeon to pieces.

Agave: But why did he, unhappy, go to Cithaeron?

Cadmus: He went deriding the God and your Bacchic revels.

Agave: But on what account did we go thither?

Cadmus: Ye were mad, and the whole city was frantic with Bacchus.[64]

Agave: Bacchus undid us--now I perceive.

Cadmus: Being insulted with insolence--for ye thought him not a God.

[64] Or, "Bacchus-mad."
