Headword: *lu/sioi teletai/
Adler number: lambda,867
Translated headword: deliverance rites, deliverance rituals
Vetting Status: high
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]

[2] Heraclides Ponticus fr. 155 Wehrli = 143 Schütrumpf.
[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).
