抄録

In the seventh and eighth chapters of Poetics, Aristotle tries to derive several general requirements for the tragic μυθοζ. Μυθοζ should have the unity and the wholeness. In this paper, the contributor will re-evaluate the concept of the μυθοζ and try to show that it is not the "combination of the Incidents" performed before the audience, but that imitated through a work. To use Russian Formalists' terms, Aristotle's μυθοζ is fabular in that it contains actions outside the drama. This interpretation of the tragic μυθοζ sheds new light on the meanings and dramatic functions of two important but cumbersome terms discussed in Chapter 17, namely, λογοζ καθολου and επεισοδιον. Λογοζ καθολου is neither a kind of Ur-μυθοζ nor it cannot be identified with the μυθοζ itself. Rather, it is a chronological structure of the essential events abstracted from the somewhat concrete μυθοζ for the sake of the determination of the scenes performed before the audience. 'Επεισοδιουν, then, means the sjuzhetization of the fabula regardless of whether each επεισοδιον belongs to the μυθοζ or is taken from the other elements of tragedy that concern the 'object of imitation', namely, ηθοζ and διανοια.
