Ἀλλὰ σὑ μὲν τότε πόνους ὁρᾷς, τὰς δὲ Ἡρακλέους ἡδονὰς οὐχ ὁρᾷς, αἷς ἔχαιρεν. Ἔχαιρεν καὶ ὁ hρακλῆς ταῦτα δρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἔδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἄν ἔδρα, εἰ μὴ δρῶν ἔχαιρεν. Αἱ μὲν γὰρ Διονύσου ἡδοναὶ καὶ τελετῆς χώραν ἔχουσιν, κῶμοι ἐκεῖνοι καὶ θίασοι καὶ χορὸς καὶ αὐλοὶ καὶ ἄσματα· πάντα ταῦτα Διονύσου ἡδονῶν σχήματα ἐν μυστηρίοις ὀργιαζόμενα.
