ARISTOTLE - PHILOSOPHER
My Friends
The poetry of tragedy reveals the truth

Έστιν ουν τραγωδία μίμησις πράξεως σπουδαίας 
Και τελείας , μέγεθος εχούσης , ηδυσμένο λόγο…..
But in different parts of the tragedy we meet
Different species of this speech, imitation that becomes
With the action of characters rather than narrative .
Achieves  the clearance of events
Terrible and piteous incidents with Fear and Mercy.

ALEXANDER
The dialectics of time reveals the utmost harmony ,
The Light is nascent-to Being.
The - Same - and different
They move the Humanity and History.
ARISTOTLE
Variation the difference expresses in the City -the State 
Where the Persons create their masterpieces. 

The Greek language is precise light -expresses the Principles
Of Philosophy - Poetry - Policy -
Is the midline - the being  of Matter and Form.

<Measure> of all things are the people

Then the conversation turned to the Aristotelian friendship.
Pursuing human happiness.
Friendship for - useful is because man is not self-sufficient .
Friendship for pleasure the presence of friends provides fun -
Satisfaction shared for all,
And friendship - for Good  -is based on the Virtue and Good .
