After having stood in awe of the marvellous Acropolis with its divine built Parthenon and Erechtheion, Tanaquil moved on with the crowd and reached the Agora, where many people were having their pick at what the merchants offered, were listening to wise men discussing in the stoai and just having fun in the market place. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face: the wild features of a god much admired by her ancestors: Dionysos, called Fufluns in her own country! Almost immediately, the thought of and longing for a good glass of Attica wine made her thirsty and advance more rapidly in the direction of Dionysos' face. A taverna, just as she had hoped, was welcoming her to come in and have a cool drink. Inside the taverna, many people were already having their share of the god's divine gift of liquor. She asked for a large one of white Attica wine and toasted to the health of the god and all his worshippers.

"To You, great god of Nature and wine, Dionysos Fufluns, and here's to you all, good citizens of Athens and all you travellers fromn abroad! Thanchvil of the Rasna wishes you a good health and a good Launch!"

Thus they shouted thanks to her and drank, full of merry emotions...

The Launch had started!
