Bacchus's Lyre

Bacchus's Lyre

Seen in: 1.19 - Lure of the Lyre, 1.20 - Fame, 1.21 - Lyre, Liar.

In return for eternal servitude and recruiting new Bacchae, Bacchus gives Orpheus a magic lyre. With it, Orpheus becomes the most famous musical act in all of Greece. As he becomes more and more obsessed with fame and glory, though, he also becomes very possessive of the lyre. He even tries to go back and rescue it when Bacchus's Cavern is set ablaze.

Powers:

• Hypnosis - Can put Bacchae in a trance when soothing music is played, lulling them to dance and keeping them from attacking. - 1.19 - Lure of the Lyre
• Empathy - Allows the musician to "touch the very souls" of the audience, and feel their adoration. Unknown if this power works for any musician who plays the lyre or just Orpheus. - 1.20 - Fame
