Poetics is a short work that covers the basic principles of storytelling in performances of ancient Greek dramas. Aristotle works through a series of topics starting with defining genres of poetics, including tragedy and comedy. Then he proceeds to issues such as the structure of a good story and the way to use language in telling that story. Much of his advice is still very good for today. For example, we were often taught in school a diagram with a beginning, a climax, and a conclusion. To be honest, I have yet to find a useful context for this horrible diagram. I wish schools would stop teaching it. Aristotle instead talks about a story starting with a premise and then experiencing a series of complications until you reach a conclusion, either positive or negative.
So what Aristotle presents in his poetics is not an attempt at defining the eternal rules of storytelling. Storytelling emerges as a practical craft through trial-and-error and a bit of luck, over a long period of time, as poets have tried new things.

Like its companion piece Rhetoric, Aristotle's Poetics is an exploration of aesthetics, a branch of philosophy concerned with the concept of beauty and other artistic principles. Ancient aesthetic philosophers were some of the first theorists in the fields of art and literature, and Poetics is considered the earliest extant work in literary theory. In fact, public speaking was an important part of Greek civic life, so doing it well by practicing rhetoric and understanding poetics was considered an art form. e24fc04721
