Ancient View

Aristotle said: History is tragedy for poets! It is a tragedy for those who really feel History is comedy for thinkers. That's what he said Two thousand three hundred years ago. We do the same stupid mistakes Ancient people had made too. We are modern! Civilized men! Fools think so I understand opposite view though. Please, add to Ancient knew things That we do not know.

Thought provoking. “History is tragedy for poets.” Perhaps, myself I think it is like spinning gold into garments that can be tried on by successive generations.
