Who Had the Idea to Invite Dionysus?

Now the condition that the Naiads and the Maiads were groaning about is commonly referred to as a hangover. But, those innocent young creatures had never had hangovers before. In their chatter, they began to ask, “Who had the idea to invite Dionysus?” and they finally identified the errant Naiad who I had honored with my idea. The oldest Naiads and Maiads punished her, and she was unhappy for a long time to come.

That’s what I mean about my being uncomfortable up here.

I do what I am best at doing—coming up with new ideas—exulting in my imagination. Then its hard to get someone to buy into them and to develop them. And finally, if something goes wrong, people get mad at the person who used my idea—and worse yet, if they know about me and what I can do—they blame me. I don’t like that at all.
