您好，别来无恙？来年你逝世周年的典礼上如果世上重新散发了道义的芬香花粉还没能成功地击倒我，我就会出现在火车站对面的那个角落里，专心等你。
哦，也许你不知道，他们把你编成第四了，请你不要把我摁作第五。我不想跟着悲剧去，即便你前面的三位给我留了席位，而你又对我装作不知悲剧的幽默的情怀。
我一直替你保守着这个秘密，如约所束，直到迪奥尼索斯手中的普通从此不出酒。
---今又是。
一块苍老的海岸礁石对着浪涛说：我看见旧铜器时代从我身边走过，沉重的脚步声里，并无多余的叹息。走了便走了。
随之而来的是公元前一千两百年泥桌上崩落的一个暗示：庄严的迪奥尼索斯带着微笑睡着了，手里还继续地握着地中海八月里最金灿的一串葡萄。
伯利克里的时代，六万人的城邦由四百人向五百人的投票机制进发，使用陶片和贝壳放逐前旁置了罪犯、游民、债务奴隶和奴隶。爱琴海边的人谁没陶片和贝壳呢？都有的，就是的只是投票放逐的权力。当初那种所谓先进的民主状态下，无权下民和高级人间实在的平等和自由只在喝酒的畅快里。在酒里，他们不仅可以褪去受规则影响失去的自然，也可以在酒第一波的挑逗下去嘲笑日常中彼此的尴尬局促和窘迫；在其后一波波更为畅快的冲击里，还可以嘲笑和挖苦政客们习以为常的虚假和荒诞。。。。。。不同的场合里他们一起喝着，喝着迪奥尼索斯手中的葡萄上不断涌出的、传流的酒。
没有提洛同盟，也会有伯利克里的，只不过他会失去那个能被他用来建造雅典城民主秩序和基础的前提。八百年后喝着酒， 他半醉地听着那台夯实的泥桌上偷偷跑入民间的鼾声和笑声，再用鞋尖将那些对峙于假正经的俏皮劲悄悄地，递送到英伦三岛。
多了九人的十将军寡头难道就不是寡头了？所谓的政治放入进化，就是一次低底层的新兴向高级位上的固有要求新的均分。关于这点，1215年英国大宪章的制定者也不一定比斯巴达人更清楚了：他们一生只崇尚战神、太阳神和强健并用来奉献的体格。所有斯巴达女人的骄傲也在于：我为斯巴达生下勇士！政治的机巧被他们弄得十分地简单，每五年或七年重新按实际人口分配财富的基础----土地。权利复被重新的划分，又一次地完成均等，这样固定好后，行军的队伍就出发了。不很在乎走过的身后还是两旁是否留下了大理石般的辉煌。非常离奇的是，文化上几乎什么也没给人类留下的斯巴达人却和雅典人同享了世纪风光。。。。。。
回到岸上的雅典娜、凯撒脚下的北地王、高仓健眼里漫野的黄飘带、酒神诅咒下，跟随艾瑞冈一起上吊的全体希腊女人，他们凭什么不一样？喝一口传动的酒，知道它来自加州，而非远在的伯罗奔尼撒。
此后的又一个八百年，我开始怀着对迪奥尼索斯冲动的责问，隆重地祭奠因施酒而殁的伊卡流斯、为他的冤死而上吊的女儿艾瑞冈、以及她的忠犬莫艾拉。顺带跟熟睡的莎翁吆喝一声：欧里庇德斯的侍酒女神的确悲催了些，可你老顺着哈姆雷德在俄菲利亚死后狂呼“没有结过婚的女人再也不许结婚了”似乎有点唐突，仿佛借由场剧的方便，扩放了人类的悲呛。不如您老改下台词吧：没有道德品行的人再也不许空谈政治了。如能这样，下一个八月的安塞斯特里昂的聚会上，我把闲散的迪奥尼索斯从海上拖来，在卫城之上，一起举杯！
（Icarius：死后成为Boötes：牡羊座）、为他的冤死而上吊的女儿艾瑞冈：酒神不知酒，把喝醉的牧羊人当作被毒死了的人，因而司惩于忠犬的主人、主人的父亲和那个施酒者的好心？
（Erigone：成了处女座，和葡萄成熟的最佳季节8月有关。今又是译注）、她的那条忠犬莫艾拉（Moera：帮着寻找父亲的艾瑞冈找到了尸体。敬为天狼星，天上最亮的一颗星。

In Greek mythology, the invention of winemaking is credited to the god Dionysus. The story goes that he gave the secret to a peasant named Icarius and his daughter, Erigone厄里戈涅, which was done out of gratitude for their hospitality. Dionysus told them to teach the art to others thus bestowing the gift on mankind. Being the obedient sort, Icarius shares his wine with local shepherds, who at first take delight in the new drink. But when they get drunk, they suspect that Icarius has poisoned them. They must have been a particularly nasty bunch because they beat him to death with their clubs. Erigone has no idea what had happened to her father until his faithful dog, Moera, leads her to where his body is buried. Sadly, Erigone hangs herself in despair. But the gods remedy this terrible injustice by granting them immortality: Icarius and Erigone are transformed into constellations, Boötes and Virgo respectively, and loyal Moera becomes Sirius, the dog star. Proving that myth often has a basis in fact, the constellation Boötes, known in Greek asthe grape gatherer, rises in autumn at the time of the harvest, when vines are still under the constellation of Virgo. In addition, Pliny the Elder recommended that the rising of the dog star on the second of August was the correct time for wine jars to be given a coating of resin to seal them before holding the upcoming vintage.
It seems funny for us modern wine drinkers to think of wine having its own god. What were the Greeks up to by creating their pantheon of gods or theoi? Today it is hard for us to understand what these ancient people meant by god. After thousands of years of Judeo-Christian influence, we tend to see God as existing somewhere outside of us, looking down from heaven. But for the ancient Greeks, the gods were experienced from within, taking possession of their existence. Thus when you were angry, in love, jealous, thirsty etc., you were being possessed by the divine. It was system that permitted a much greater range of experience then we have today, though undoubtedly less order. The taste of wine, the intoxication, the manner of behavior that comes over us when we drink, this was Dionysus. It was a thing in itself, a reality, a god. The earliest known festival devoted to Dionysus is the three-day feast of the Anthesteria安塞斯特里昂节, which was a wine festival. It was a springtime party that celebrated the making of the new wine, which was not drunk until the following spring. Clay tablets dating from the late Bronze Age (c.1200 BC), reveal the link between Dionysus and wine, showing that the early cult of the god was about drinking. The connection to wine drinking, and that Dionysus was known to oppose reason, calm, and order, made him immensely popular. In Euripides’ tragedy 欧里庇得斯（希腊的悲剧诗人）The Bacchae, he is praised for his gift of wine, but is also depicted striking people with madness. What people loved in this god is also what made him dangerous and subversive to those in authority. In this respect, nothing has changed over these many
