"Here is pure Bacchus (wine)"

If one is going to turn 'Thyonianus' into 'Bacchus' -- presumably for easier comprehension -- then one shouldn't further gloss it with 'wine'. Either go all the way through to 'wine' or leave it! The current version preserves neither literality nor poetry. Dioskolos (talk) 06:41, 7 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
