Word versus deed in plato

Raphael Demos

pp. 168-173

Abstract

"If any of the tragic poets come to us and say — "Oh strangers, may we come to your city and bring with us our poetry' — how shall we answer these divine men? "Best of strangers, we also are poets, of the best and noblest tragedy; for our whole city is an imitation of the best and noblest life, which we affirm to be the very truth of tragedy. You are poets and we are poets — your rivals in the dramas." 1
