O Dionysos Diosphōs, walk beside me
through dark roads and uncertain hours.
Guard my body, steady my mind,
and strengthen my spirit, Egersiphaēs.
Turn away malice, misfortune, and hidden danger,
let no cruelty take root within or around me,
and let fear not rule my heart, Zaphleges.
May I move beneath your protection
with courage and clear sight, doing what is
just and honorable, Hēdymelēs.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful prayer.
Question: Which of Dionysos’ many epithets would translate to “One Who Messes with the Heads of the Spoon-Fed” – or something to that effect (in English, please, I still do not read Greek)?
