Conquered too the scattered Gelonian peoples.

From the warlike maidens their arms he wrested;

Down to the earth they fell in desperate conflict,480

The hardy bands of Amazonian maidens.

Now, at last, their arrows swift are abandoned,

And Maenads have they become.

Holy Cithaeron too has streamed with slaughter,

Where was spilt the noble blood of Ophion.485

Proetus' daughters the forests sought; and Argos,

Juno at last consenting, paid homage to Bacchus.
