Forth from the wild olive, my bleating she-goats, feed here where the hillside slopes, and the tamarisks grove. Lacon. Conarus there, and Cynaetha, will you never leave the oak?

Lacon.
The people of Cynaetha held a festival of Dionysus in winter, when men, who had greased their bodies with oil for the occasion, used to pick out a bull from the herd and carry it to the sanctuary of the god. Dionysus was supposed to inspire their choice of the particular bull, which probably represented the deity himself; for at his festivals he was believed to appear in bull form.
