In Republic X, Socrates describes an ancient quarrel between philosophy and this field, a counterfeit imitation that spreads false role models. Socrates then concludes that it must be banished from the Republic.

A work on this field describes its use of hamartia, or tragic flaws. Aristotle constructed a hierarchy of its six parts, where mythos and ethos are valued over opsis, or spectacle. That work, Poetics, also posits that this form of art purges emotions through catharsis. For 10 points, name this art form performed by actors.
