Summary/Abstract |
"Poetics" is a treatise on fine art, mentioning not only epic and dithyrambic poetry, but tragedy, comedy, flute playing and lyre playing. Aristotle's conception of tragedy , a depiction of a heroic action that arouses pity and fear in the spectators and brings about a catharsis of these emotions, has helped perpetuate the Greek ideal of drama to the present day.
