you lead into the madness of revel and dance

Orphic Hymn 52. To the God of the Triennial Feast
Incense: Aromatic Herbs

I call upon you, blessed, many-named and frenzied Bacchos,
Bull-horned Nysian redeemer, god of the wine-press, conceived in fire.
Nourished in the thigh, O Lord of the Cradle,
You marshal torch-lit processions in the night,
O filleted and thyrsos-shaking Eubouleus.
Threefold is your nature and ineffable your rites,
O secret offspring of Zeus.
Primeval, Erikepaios, father and son of gods,
You take raw flesh, and, sceptered,
you lead into the madness of revel and dance
In the frenzy of triennial feasts that bestow calm on us.
You burst forth from the earth in a blaze… O son of two mothers,
And, horned and clad in fawnskin, you roam the mountains,
O lord worshiped in annual feasts.
Paian of the golden spear, nursling, decked with grapes,
Bassaros, exulting in ivy, followed by many maidens…
Joyous and all-abounding, come, O blessed one to the initiates.
