Answer 2

poetry

Step-by-step explanation:

"La Poetica" is a work of Aristotle written in the fourth century BC. C., between the foundation of his school in Athens, in 335 a. C., and its definitive departure of the city, in 323 a. C. Its main theme is the aesthetic reflection through the characterization and description of the tragedy.

Apparently, the work was originally composed of two parts: 2 a first book on tragedy and the epic, and a second on comedy and iambic poetry, which was lost, apparently during the Middle Ages, and from which nothing known.

Basically, the Poetics consists of a work of definition and characterization of tragedy and other imitative arts. Along with these considerations are other, less developed ones, about history and its comparison with poetry (arts in general), linguistic considerations and others about mimesis.
