Ancient Text: “My sons, make your attack with high towering rocks against cluster garlanded Dionysos–catch this Indianslayer, this destroyer of my family, this son of Zeus, and let me not see him ruling with Zeus a bastard monarch of Olympos! Bind him, bind Bakkhos fast, that he may attend in the chamber when I bestow Hebe on Porphyrion as a wife, and give Kythereia to Khthonios, when I sing Bright eyes he bedfellow of Enkelados, and Artemis of Alkyoneus.”
-Nonnus, Dionysiaca 48. 6 ff
