Cithseron

A range of mountains separating Bceotia from Megaris and It was sacred to Bacchus, in connection with whom, under the name of Bromius, Milton mentions it. Virgil refers to it as follows: “Bereft of sense she [Dido] raves, and fired with madne rushes wildly all through the city, like a Thyad roused by the moving of the sacred mysteries, when the cry of Bacchus is heard, and the triennial orgies goad her to frenzy, and Cithaeron by night invites her with its din.” {M^neid 4. 300-3.) ch097.xhtml a 101
