letra de acoetes' tale - lee spitzer
on a voyage to delos
the ship i sailed on
stopped on an island
we spent the night
and in the morning
i went to check the winds
when i returned
i saw my crewmates
dragging a captured youth
he had a girlish beauty
seemed drunk and drowsy
and stumbled as he walked
i looked in his eyes
and something told me
this was a god
i told my crew this
asked the youth forgiveness
but the crew what they did was mock
i tried to resist
they tried to cast me overboard
the rigging saved me from drowning
the youth woke up
asked where he was
and where they were taking him
the crew all laughed
and lied to the boy
“anywhere you want to go son”
so the boy said
“set the sails for naxos
for it is my home.”
with naxos to the east
i set sail accordingly
but the crew said “fool, go west”
so i surrendered the wheel
for i shall only do
what the boy says
the boy feigned tears
began to cry
“this is not where i wanted to go
how can grown men
trick a young boy?”
but the crew just mocked us both
the ship stood still
no matter how they rowed
the ship would not advance
and vines sprang from the ocean
held fast the ship
the boy was dionysus
the crewmen wanted to scream
but their screams were silenced
when they turned to fish
their skin became scales
their arms became fins
their legs became tails
and they were cast away
into the sea
prey for the sharks
and i feared for my life
but the god he spared me
for i did him no harm
and we sailed to naxos
where the god he taught me
his mysteries
