Description

Aristotle's Poetics c. 335 BC) is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.

In this text Aristotle offers an account of ποιητικης, which refers to poetry or more literally "the poetic art," deriving from the term for "poet; author; maker," ποιητης.

Aristotle divides the art of poetry into verse drama (to include comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play), lyric poetry, and epic.
