EURIPIDES' INVOCATION TO DIONYSOS BROMIOS

O Bromius, leader, god of joy,

Bromius, take me there!

There the lovely Graces are,

and there Desire, and there

the bacchants have the right to worship.

The deity, the son of Zeus,

in feast, in festival, delights.

He loves the goddess Peace,

generous of good,

preserver of the young.

To rich and poor he gives

the painless delight of wine.

But him he hates who scoffs

at the happiness of those

for whom the day is blessed

and blessed the night;

whose simple wisdom shuns the thoughts

of proud, uncommon men.

What the common people

believe and do,

I too believe and do.

(trans. by William Arrowsmith, lines 412–430)

Oh Dionysoi

Oh Zagreus, born from Lady Persephone, son of the high queen of the afterlife, queen of death itself

Oh Zagreus, you climbed upon the throne of our reality, destined to rule, you held the bolts of the highest lord, you held them like a simple toy

Oh Zagreus, you suffered sparagmos at the hands of the titans, your wounds wept, your body bled, only a heart like yours could prevail in such trauma

You prevailed to be reborn

Oh Bromius, born from Mother Semele, son of the great priestess of the King, the great tragedy bound princess

Oh Bromius, you caused great joy for your mother, her feet trailed dances around her room, around her very kingdom, her joy overfilled

Oh Bromius, you lost your mother to the lightning, your mother burst at the atomic level, incinerated by the holy face of her lover

But yet again, you prevailed to be reborn

Oh Iacchus, born from Almighty Lord Zeus, son of the highest king in the highest halls of our reality

Oh Iacchus, you were sewn into the thigh of our lord, you became a God born from the king himself, born in secret from those meant to harm you

Oh Iacchus, you went on to create wine, to free our souls and minds from the horrors of life, you ascended to Olympus, your rightful home

Oh Dionysus, we praise you as you deserve
