  • νεανικώτερα ἡμᾶσ, ὦ Φίλων, ἀξιοῖσ ἐκφέρειν ταῦτα πρὸσ τοὺσ πολλοὺσ καὶ ἐπεξιέναι διηγουμένουσ πράγματα ἐν οἴνῳ καὶ μέθῃ γενόμενα, δέον λήθην ποιήσασθαι αὐτῶν καὶ νομίζειν ἐκεῖνα πάντα θεοῦ ἔργα τοῦ Διονύσου εἶναι, ὃσ οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα τῶν αὑτοῦ ὀργίων ἀτέλεστον καὶ ἀβάκχευτον περιεῖδεν. (Lucian, Symposium, (no name) 2:3)
