Quoted text:
Chapter 5 of Book 8 Aristotle emphasized that the sort of music that is only “for our amusement and refreshment, like taking a nap or having a drink,” is not of serious importance, although it may be “pleasant and help us forget our worries, as Euripides says” (Bacchae[1] 381).
Can someone help identify the Euripides quotation with an original source better than ours? We found and cited this one from here but there may be something better/more definitive; the quotations are pretty different.
