Translation: [Meaning] those of Dionysos. For when [the] Boeotians had been defeated by [the] Thracians and had fled into Trophonius' [domain],[1] he appeared in a dream and said that Dionysos would be their helper; [so] they got drunk, attacked the Thracians, set each other free, and established a shrine of Dionysos Lysios [Deliverer] -- according to
Heraclides Ponticus.[2] But
Aristophanes [says that the name came about] because of the Thebans' ransoming of the grapevine from the Naxians.[3]

[3] Probably (as Wentzel argued) the C4 BCE Boeotian historian of that name, though Jacoby does not list this as one of his [FGrH 379] fragments; instead the material has been attributed to
Aristophanes of
Byzantium (
Paroemiae fr.10 Nauck).
