Religion
Book VI, 45
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. I, 1916)
Religion
Comautus hung up alive to Bacchus this hedgehog, its body bristling with sharp spines, the grapegatherer, the spoiler of the sweet vineyards, having caught it curled up in a ball and rolling on the grapes.
