taile's review against another edition

valid, interesting, made notes in files. ideas about what is tragedy, role of women (is Medea presented as sympathetic? Medea as non-Greek?)
- reception to tragedy - canonisation - how far should we take Aristotle poetics at face value (valuable but not Definitive)
- purgation vs purification of pity in eng translation - removal or neutralisation?
- kind of unsexy for them to say only athenian drama matters lol
