...Cortege de Bacchus...
...knows how long it had been built nor exactly how it was constructed. Only a single chamber, the one containing the oracle, was saved from the fire and this was built into the new temple. Apollo was the chief deity but there are some proofs that Bacchus was worshiped there before Apollo. People of all nations worshiped at the shrine and so many presents were given that in the time of Pliny, after Delphi had been plundered many times, there remained three thousand.

Then comes Sileuns, reeling from his ass and surrounded by a fantastic bevy of mymphs satyrs, demons, goblins and bats. We move forward to the 13th of June, 1613, and ill starred Frederick of Bohemia, with...
