By Aristotle FREE Alt.Kindle/Nook/Other Eds. Aristotle’s Poetics is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls “poetry” (a term which in Greek literally means “making” and in this context includes drama—comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play—as well as lyric poetry, epic poetry, and the dithyramb-A song sung to praise Dionysus, the God of wine and fertility). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes. 1. They differ in the music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. 2. The difference of goodness in the characters. 3. The way the characters are presented in which they stay in the role that they are describing as a narrative or acting as if they are doing the things that the characters are doing. |

By Plato FREE Alt.Kindle/Nook/Other Eds. The writings of Plato are numerous, and most of them are in the form of dialogues. The following pages contain translations of three of his works, viz.: “The Apologia,” “The Crito” and “The Phædo,” all of which have reference to the trial, imprisonment and death of Socrates. “The Apologia” represents Socrates on trial for his life, undertaking his own defence. In “The Crito” Socrates is represented in conversation with a friend of his named Crito, who had been present at his trial, and who had offered to assist Socrates in paying a fine, had a fine been the sentence imposed. “The Phædo” relates the manner in which Socrates spent the last day of his life and the circumstances attending his death. He is visited by a number of his friends, among whom are Phædo, Simmias and Crito. When his friends arrive they find him sitting upon a bed rubbing his legs, which have just been released from bonds. |
