As is known to all, Semele was burned to ashes through Hera's cunning trap and Hermes arrived just in time to take from within her the baby Bacchus. His birth His childhood Zeus took the infant Bacchus and gave him in charge to the nymphs of Mount Nysa, who nourished his infancy and childhood, and for their care were rewarded by Jupiter by being placed, as the Hyades, among the stars. It was on Mount Nysa that Dionysus invented wine, for which he is chiefly celebrated. (金牛座中的)毕宿星团 Hardship When he grew to manhood, Hera recognized him as Zeus's son, despite the effeminacy to which his education had reduced him, and drove him mad. He went wandering all over the world. In Phrygia the goddess Rhea cured him and taught him her religious rites, and he set out on a progress through Asia, teaching the people the cultivation of the wine. 柔弱、女人气 His worship Returning in triumph in Asia, he undertook to introduce his worship into Greece, but was opposed by some princes, who dreaded its introduction on account of the disorders and madness it brought with it. 成功、胜利、凯旋 因为、由于 As he approached his native city Thebes, Pentheus the king, who had no respect for the new worship, forbade its rites to be performed.

Pentheus, beholding him with wrathful countenance, said, "Fellow! you shall speedily be put to death, that your fate may be a warning to others;

They judged he was a noble youth, perhaps a king's son, and they might get a liberal ransom for him.
