Dionysos of many names and many forms, unrivaled in power
and beneficence, grant the favors that are yours to grant:
freedom from all constraints, wisdom that confounds the wise,
poetic inspiration, abundant wealth, charisma, the fruits of ecstasy,
a long life and a good old age, and numerous other favors
so that we may come before you in joy O Dionysos, our Master,
favored son of Zeus, who is unique among the Gods of Mount Olympos,
those upon the Earth, and beneath it. You slaughtered the snake-limbed
Giants Eurytos, Porphyrion, and Alkyoneus, fearless sons of Gaia,
so what are my troubles compared to such mighty deeds, O brother
of Herakles who wields a tree-trunk like a club and Hermes who can
outwit even the all-seeing Argos? I am thankful beyond words to express
the mound of good deeds you have done for mankind, and ask that
this matter be added to the pile, Dionysos Thaleiros and Thaumatourgos.
