Ancient Greek
Hermann Diels, editor · ogl-diels-1922
εἰ μὴ γὰρ Διονύσωι πομπὴν ἐποιοῦντο καὶ ὕμνεον ἆισμα αἰδοίοισιν, ἀναιδέστατα εἴργαστ’ ἂν· ὡυτὸς δὲ Ἀίδης καὶ Διόνυσος, ὅτεωι μαίνονται καὶ ληναΐζουσιν.

For if they were not conducting a procession for Dionysus and singing a hymn to the genitals, their deeds would be utterly shameless. But Hades and Dionysus, for whom they rave and celebrate the Lenaean rites, are the same.

Car, si ce n’était pas pour Dionysos qu’ils faisaient une procession et chantaient l’hymne aux parties honteuses, ils accompliraient les actes les plus éhontés. Mais Hadès et Dionysos sont un seul et même dieu, lui pour qui ils délirent et célèbrent les fêtes des pressoirs.
