ResumoAbstract There is no room for katharsis in the definition of tragedy as it occurs in chapter 6 of Aristotle’s Poetics. The passage is corrupt. At least three scholars—Petrus#evski, Freire, and Scott—have shown that intervention in the text is justifled and necessary, and I have already argued this case elsewhere.1 I take it for granted here that κaθαρςις in line 1449B28 cannot remain. Instead, I ask (1) whether it is a matter of simple elimination or whether some other word should replace it; (2) what portion of the text should be considered corrupt; and, most important, (3) why.
