And they wanted to tie him up in harsh bondage, 13 but the ties of the bonds could not hold him, and the cords made of willow fell off him, all over the place, 14 falling right off his hands and feet. Quickly they seized him and sat him down inside their ship, happy in their hearts 11 because they thought that he was the son of a line of kings nurtured by the sky god.

Then, all of a sudden, men seen from a ship with fine benches 7 -men who were pirates-came into view, as they were sailing over the wine-colored sea. And a cloak he wore over his strong shoulders, 6 color of purple. Beautiful were the locks of hair as they waved in the breeze surrounding him. 1 About Dionysus son of most glorious Semele 2 my mind will connect, how it was that he made an appearance by the shore of the barren sea 3 on a prominent headland, looking like a young man 4 at the beginning of adolescence.
