Διόνυσος
σὲ τὸν πρόθυμον ὄνθʼ ἃ μὴ χρεὼν ὁρᾶν
σπεύδοντά τʼ ἀσπούδαστα , Πενθέα λέγω ,
ἔξιθι πάροιθε δωμάτων , ὄφθητί μοι ,
σκευὴν γυναικὸς μαινάδος βάκχης ἔχων ,
μητρός τε τῆς σῆς καὶ λόχου κατάσκοπος ·
πρέπεις δὲ Κάδμου θυγατέρων μορφὴν μιᾷ .

Dionysus
You who are eager to see what you ought not and hasty in pursuit of what ought not to be pursued — I mean you , Pentheus , come forth before the house , be seen by me , wearing the clothing of a woman , of an inspired maenad , a spy upon your mother and her company .
In appearance you are like one of Kadmos ' daughters .
