Enjoy this classical masterpiece! You will return to it again and again with delight. Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (includes drama—comedy, tragedy, the satyr play, lyric and epic poetry). They are similar yet different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. Difference of goodness in the characters. Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. This book was lost to the West for a long time and became available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance through a Latin translation of an Arabic version.
