- Bacchic reveller
Meaning
Pan is a Bacchic reveller at XI.5 and 21, and Dionysos receives the same agent noun at XLVII.6. These are divine addressees, not a securely identified human office. The title characterizes active revelry while the surrounding imperatives ask the gods to approach favourably.
