Dionysus grew up in India. Soon, he left the fairies who raised and sheltered himself, traveled around, taught the world the techniques of growing grapes, and asked people to build temples to worship him. He is generous to his friends, but he often punishes those who don't believe that he is a god. Soon, Dionysus's fame spread all over Greece and to his hometown Thebes. At that time, Cadmus had passed the kingdom to Pontius. Pantos is the son of O 'Joanne and Ago, born of clay. Ago is the sister of Bacchus's mother. Pontius despised the gods and especially hated his relative Dionysus. So, when Bacchus, the god of wine, came there with a group of fanatical believers, ready to explain Shinto to the King of Thebes, pantos stubbornly refused to listen to the warning and persuasion of tiresias, an old blind soothsayer. Pontius flew into a rage when someone told him that many men, women and children in Thebes followed and praised the new god. "What makes you crazy to follow him in droves? You are all cowardly fools and crazy women. Have you forgotten your hero's ancestors? Are you willing to let a spoiled boy conquer Thebes? He is a vain coward, wearing a vine wreath on his head and a purple robe instead of armor. He can't ride a horse, and he is a coward who will run away from every battle. Once you wake up, you will find that he is actually a mortal like us. I am his cousin, Zeus is not his father. His gorgeous ceremonies are all fake! " He swears. Then, he turned and ordered his servant to arrest the Protestant leader and put on shackles and handcuffs.
Pantos's relatives and friends were shocked and frightened by his arrogant language and orders. His grandfather, Cadmus, also shook his white-haired head. But all the persuasion angered pantos even more.
At this time, the servants sent to perform the task all fled back with their heads broken.
"Where did you meet Barkis?" Peng Tousi asked angrily.
"We didn't see Buckcos at all. We arrested one of his followers, and he didn't seem to follow him for a long time. " The servant answered truthfully.
Pantos glared at the arrested person with hatred and shouted, "Damn thing, what's your name? Who are your parents and where do you live? Why do you believe in the new ordinances? " Without fear, the arrested man calmly replied: "My name is Actus, and my hometown is in Mayonin. My parents are ordinary people, with neither livestock nor land. My father only taught me to fish with a fishing rod, because this skill is his wealth. Later, I learned to sail, got familiar with the sky, observed the wind direction, and knew where the best port was. I became a sailor. On one occasion, when the ship was sailing to Telos Island in the Aegean Sea, it reached an unknown sand tail. I jumped off the boat and spent the night alone on the shore. The next day, I climbed a mountain facing the morning glow and tried the wind and direction. At this time, our ship's partners also went ashore. I met them on the way back to the boat, but they were still holding a boy. They subdued the boy on the deserted beach. The boy is handsome and as beautiful as the girl. He seemed to be thirsty and fell asleep, so it was difficult for him to keep up with everyone.
"'Which God is hidden in this child's heart?' I asked everyone.
"'I don't know, we are sure he is a god.'
"'No matter who you are,' I continued,' I ask to bless us all! Forgive those who took you away!
"'What are you whispering about?' A sailor shouted, "Don't pray to him! '
"Others also laugh at me. I can't compete with them at all. One of them, the youngest and strongest young man, is actually a vicious murderer. He escaped after committing the crime. He grabbed me by the collar and threw me into the water. If I hadn't accidentally caught a rope on the boat, I would have drowned. At this time, the chefs slowly dragged the boy to the boat, and he lay there as if asleep. Later, he was awakened by everyone, so he came to the crew and asked loudly,' Why are you so noisy? How did I get here? "Where are you sending me?"
"'You don't have to be afraid,' one of the sinister crew members replied. Tell us the port you want to go to, and we will send you there according to your wishes.
"'Well,' said the boy,' please take a boat to Naxos Island, which is my hometown!'
"These deceptive sailors promised him with a hypocritical heart and told me to set sail at once and get ready to go. Naxos Island is on our right. But when I raised the sail, they winked at me and whispered,' You idiot, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? "To the left!"
"'I don't understand, then please change someone to carry out the order!'" "Then I stepped aside.
"'It seems that sailing is really inseparable from you!' A rude man said derisively, and at the same time came forward and raised the sail. So Naxos is on the right, but the ship is moving in the opposite direction. It seems that the boy discovered their scam at this moment. He looked at the sea on the back deck with a sneer at his mouth. Pretending to be desperate, he pleaded, "Oh, sailors, you promised to take me to Naxos, and now you are driving in the wrong direction! It is unreasonable for you people to cheat a child. The sailors just looked at him and me derisively, rowing without changing direction. Suddenly, the ship was thrown into the sea, motionless, as if stranded, and no matter how the sailors paddled, they could not move forward. After a while, the vines wrapped around the oars and climbed up the mast.
"Buck Coase-it turned out that the boy was him, standing there in high spirits, wearing a hair band made of grape leaves on his forehead, holding a wand wrapped in vines, surrounded by tigers, bobcats and mountain leopards. The smell of wine spread all over the ship. The sailors jumped up in fear. The first man was about to shout when he found that his lips and nose were connected and turned into fish mouths. Before others could scream, they suffered the same fate: blue scales grew on their bodies, their backs were bent, their arms were shrunk into fins, and their feet had long since become tails. All the people became fish, jumped into the sea from the deck and floated up and down. There are ***20 people on board, and only I am safe and sound. But I was shivering, waiting to lose my human form at any time. However, Bakkos stood up in a friendly way, because I didn't hurt him, so he said,' Don't be afraid, please take me to Naxos.' When we got there, he dragged me to the altar and made me a servant to serve the gods. ""We are tired of hearing your nonsense, "cried King Pontius." Somebody, arrest him, make him suffer a thousand kinds of hardships, and then put him in a dungeon! "The slaves obeyed, tied him up and locked him in a dungeon. But an invisible hand let him go.
The king was very angry and began to persecute Bakkos' followers on a large scale. Pentos' biological mother Agora and several sisters all participated in enthusiastic worship activities. The king sent someone to catch them and put all Bakkos' followers in prison. However, without anyone's help, their handcuffs and shackles automatically fell off and the prison door was wide open. They returned to the Woods with admiration for Bakkos. The servant sent to catch Dionysus also came back in confusion, because Bacchus smiled and was willing to put him in chains. Bakkos stood before the king. Although the king didn't want to see it, Dionysus's young beauty caught his attention. He was surprised. However, he still insists that Dionysus is a liar who steals Buckos' name. The king locked Dionysus in a cave near the stable. But Dionysus commanded, immediately shook the mountain. The brick wall at the mouth of the cave collapsed and the shackles on the hands and feet were loose. He came out unscathed and returned to his followers, looking more beautiful and handsome than before.
Another messenger came to the king's side and told him about the miracles performed by those crazy women in the Woods. His mother and sisters were the leaders of these women. As long as they hit the rock wall with a cane, clear spring water and wine suddenly flow out of the cracks in the stone, milk flows in the stream, and honey drips from the hollow trunk.
"Yes," added an informer, "if you were there and saw God with your own eyes, you would definitely kneel down to him!"
Pantos more angry. He ordered heavily armed infantry and cavalry to disperse a large number of believers. I didn't expect Bakkos to come to the king himself. He promised to take the female believers with him, but the king must wear women's clothes, because he is a man and hasn't entered the church yet, and women will tear him to pieces. King pantos reluctantly and suspiciously accepted the proposal. He followed Dionysus and walked outside the city. At this moment, he suddenly moved. This is a lesson that Almighty God only taught him. In his view, there are two suns in front of him, a city twice as big as Thebes, and each gate is twice as high as before, while Bakkos looks like a bull with a pair of huge horns on its head. He was passionate about Bakkos and prayed for a magic wand. He took it and ran forward excitedly.
They came to a deep mountain canyon surrounded by pine trees. Female believers in Bakkos gathered together to sing carols to their gods. They wound the staves with fresh vines, but pantos was blind. It may be that Bacos deliberately led him to take a detour, so he didn't see the enthusiastic gathering of women. Now, Dionysus put a hand into the sky, and a miracle appeared. Reach out to the crown of the pine tree he grabbed, bend it down, just like fiddling with a willow branch, then let pantos sit on it and let the pine tree slowly return to its original position. Strangely, Pentos didn't fall. He sat firmly in the high canopy. Many female believers in Bakkos in the valley met the king, but the king could not see them. At this time, Dionysus shouted to the valley: "Women, he is the one who laughs at our sacred ordinances. Punish him!"
There is not a leaf trembling in the forest, and there is no sound of any living thing. Buckcos' disciples looked up. They heard the leader shouting and ran as fast as they could. As if sent by God, during the carnival, they crossed the rushing river and dense jungle, and finally approached and saw their enemy and their king sitting on the top of the tree. First, they threw stones, broken branches and wands. But these things can't be thrown into the crown of the king tree. Later, they dug up the soil around the pine tree with hard oak sticks and dug up the roots. The tree fell with a bang, and Pontius fell to the ground with the tree. Dionysus drew a symbol on the eyes of Argo, pantos's mother, so she couldn't recognize her son. Now she bears the brunt and makes a gesture of punishment. At this time, the king was surprised, suddenly regained consciousness, shouted "mom" and tried to jump into his mother's arms. "Do you still know your son? I'm pantos, your son at Urcharon's. Have pity on me, don't punish your children! " However, this fanatical female disciple in Bacos was foaming at the mouth and looked at him sideways. She didn't recognize him as her son. She only saw a fierce wild lion. She grabbed her son by the shoulder and broke his right arm. Her sisters swarmed and pulled down the king's right arm. A group of women rushed forward crazily. There were too many cooks, and everyone tore a piece of meat from him. Agus stretched out his blood-stained hands again, tightly screwed his son's head and put it on her staff. He still thought it was a huge lion's head and excitedly carried it through the Woods of Kitalong.
