Aristotle’s Poetics, Greek Poetics, Literary Canon, Greek Epic Canon, Greek Tragic CanonAbstract
This paper explores the implicit canon presupposed in Aristotle’s Poetics, in order to determine which epic and tragic authors are regarded as models by the treatise, and according to which criteria. It is also analysed which works of those poets are presented by Aristotle as canonical. The paper also deals with the differences and similarities between Aristotle’s implicit canon and the literary canons established by Alexandrian philology.
