Rhea, Jupiter’s mother, had the address to save him, and sent him from Arcadia, where he then was, into Crete, to the recesses of Mount Ida. […] Jupiter was said to have sent Bacchus into India to exterminate a sinful nation; and it is recorded, that Moses was commanded, by the true God, to do the same in Palestine. […] His descendants sent colonies into Asia Minor, and afterwards passed over into Italy. […] When in his cradle, he strangled two serpents, sent by Juno to destroy him. […] Towards the sacred flame They turn’d, and sent their tuneful praise to heav’n.
