Subchapter 17.1

Δεῖ δὲ τοὺς μύθους συνιστάναι καὶ τῇ λέξει συναπεργάζεσθαι ὅτι μάλιστα πρὸ ὀμμάτων τιθέμενον· οὕτω γὰρ ἂν ἐναργέστατα ὁρῶν, ὥσπερ παρ᾿ αὐτοῖς γιγνόμενος τοῖς πραττομένοις, εὑρίσκοι τὸ πρέπον, καὶ ἥκιστ᾿ ἂν λανθάνοιτο τὰ ὑπεναντία.

Subchapter 17.2

Σημεῖον δὲ τούτου ὃ ἐπετιμᾶτο Καρκίνῳ· ὁ γὰρ Ἀμφιάραος ἐξ ἱεροῦ ἀνῄει, ὃ μὴ ὁρῶντα τὸν θεατὴν ἐλάνθανεν, ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς σκηνῆς ἐξέπεσε, δυσχερανάντων τοῦτο τῶν θεατῶν.

Subchapter 17.3

Ὅσα δὲ δυνατόν, καὶ τοῖς σχήμασι συναπεργαζόμενον. Πιθανώτατοι γὰρ ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῆς φύσεως οἱ ἐν τοῖς πάθεσίν εἰσι, καὶ χειμαίνει ὁ χειμαζόμενος καὶ χαλεπαίνει ὁ ὀργιζόμενος ἀληθινώτατα.

Subchapter 17.4

Διὸ εὐφυοῦς ἡ ποιητική ἐστιν ἢ μανικοῦ· τούτων γὰρ οἱ μὲν εὔπλαστοι οἱ δὲ ἐξεταστικοί εἰσιν.

Subchapter 17.5

Τούς τε λόγους τοὺς πεποιημένους δεῖ καὶ αὐτὸν ποιοῦντα ἐκτίθεσθαι καθόλου, εἶθ᾿ οὕτως ἐπεισοδιοῦν καὶ παρατείνειν.

Subchapter 17.6

Λέγω δὲ οὕτως ἂν θεωρεῖσθαι τὸ καθόλου, οἷον τῆς Ἰφιγενείας. Τυθείσης τινὸς κόρης καὶ ἀφανισθείσης ἀδήλως τοῖς θύσασιν, ἱδρυνθείσης δὲ εἰς ἄλλην χώραν, ἐν ᾗ νόμος ἦν τοὺς ξένους θύειν τῇ θεῷ, ταύτην ἔσχε τὴν ἱερωσύνην. Χρόνῳ δ᾿ ὕστερον τῷ ἀδελφῷ συνέβη ἐλθεῖν τῆς ἱερείας. Τὸ δὲ ὅτι ἀνεῖλεν ὁ θεὸς διά τιν᾿ αἰτίαν ἔξω τοῦ καθόλου ἐλθεῖν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐφ᾿ ὅ τι δέ, ἔξω τοῦ μύθου. Ἐλθὼν δὲ καὶ ληφθεὶς θύεσθαι μέλλων ἀνεγνώρισεν, εἴθ᾿ ὡς Εὐριπίδης εἴθ᾿ ὡς Πολύειδος ἐποίησεν, κατὰ τὸ εἰκὸς εἰπὼν ὅτι οὐκ ἄρα μόνον τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὸν ἔδει τυθῆναι· καὶ ἐντεῦθεν ἡ σωτηρία.

Subchapter 17.7

Μετὰ ταῦτα δὲ ἤδη ὑποθέντα τὰ ὀνόματα ἐπεισοδιοῦν,

Subchapter 17.8

ὅπως δὲ ἔσται οἰκεῖα τὰ ἐπεισόδια σκοπεῖν, οἷον ἐν τῷ Ὀρέστῃ ἡ μανία δι᾿ ἧς ἐλήφθη, καὶ ἡ σωτηρία διὰ τῆς καθάρσεως.

Subchapter 17.9

Ἐν μὲν οὖν τοῖς δράμασι τὰ ἐπεισόδια σύντομα, ἡ δ᾿ ἐποποιία τούτοις μηκύνεται.

Subchapter 17.10

Τῆς γὰρ Ὀδυσσείας μακρὸς ὁ λόγος ἐστίν, ἀποδημοῦντός τινος ἔτη πολλὰ καὶ παραφυλαττομένου ὑπὸ τοῦ Ποσειδῶνος καὶ μόνου ὄντος, ἔτι δὲ τῶν οἴκοι οὕτως ἐχόντων ὥστε τὰ χρήματα ὑπὸ μνηστήρων ἀναλίσκεσθαι καὶ τὸν υἱὸν ἐπιβουλεύεσθαι· αὐτὸς δὲ ἀφικνεῖται χειμασθείς, καὶ ἀναγνωρίσας τινὰς αὐτοῖς ἐπιθέμενος αὐτὸς μὲν ἐσώθη, τοὺς δ᾿ ἐχθροὺς διέφθειρεν.

Subchapter 17.11

Τὸ μὲν οὖν ἴδιον τοῦτο, τὰ δ᾿ ἄλλα ἐπεισόδια.
