PEPLUM Movie Quotes

THE BACCHANTES (1961) starring Alberto Lupo (Pentheus) and Pierre Brice (Dionysus)

Pentheus: But you'll sing another tune when you'll hear your punishment!

Dionysus: What harm can you do me?

Pentheus: In chains, I'll make you perish on the cliffs of the Cithaeron. A meal for the eagles and a prey to the hyenas.

Dionysus: If I wish it, my god will save me.

Pentheus: And where is that god? Where that I cannot see him.

Dionysus: Right beside me. But you never can see him!

Pentheus: No and why is that?

Dionysus: Because in your foolish pride, the evil within you has made you blind!
