Saturnalia by Antoine Callet 1783

"When he too had entered the sacred enclosure, Dionysus said, "King Cronus and Father Zeus can any incompleteness exist among the Gods?" And when they replied that it could not, "Then," said he, "let us bring in here some votary of pleasure as well."

"Nay," answered Zeus, "it is not permitted that any man should enter here who does not model himself on us."

-Julian the Faithful: The Caesars
