Acting on these words, he led the way to the feast. The inside of the temple had been set aside specially for the ladies, while tables had been laid for the men in the temple forecourt. When their appetites for the pleasures of the table were satisfied, the tables were removed to make way for wine bowls, and the men sang and poured a libation of departure to Dionysos, while the women danced a hymn of thanksgiving to Demeter. But Charikleia found a private place to perform her own rites, and there she prayed to the gods to preserve her life for Theagenes' sake, and his for hers.
The revelries were at their height, the guests had turned to various forms of amusement, when Nausikles held out a bowl of water with no wine added to it and said: 'My dear Kalasiris, we drink your health in pure water, as is pleasing to you, water that has had no intercourse with Dionysos, the god of wine, but retains its virgin purity. If, in return, you were to toast us with the story we long to hear, we could want no finer draught for our entertainment. As you can hear, the ladies have begun to dance to entertain themselves as they drink, but we, if you are agreeable, could want to finer accompaniment to our revels than the story of your travels, far sweeter than any dancing or flute music.'
– Heliodorus, from The Aethiopica, or, Theagenes and Charikleia (3rd or 4th century AD), translated from Greek by J.R. Morgan (1989)
