Dionysus appears aloft, in divine form. The MSS. are defective here:
from what we have the god appears to be painting the future of Cadmus:
life in a dragon form, victories at the head of barbarian hosts,
finally the Isles of the Blest. Agave as stained with blood is
banished the land, vainly imploring the god's mercy. With lamentations
at the thought of exile, which is the lot of both, the play ends.
