【 摘 要 】

This article aims to analyze the passage 1449a 9-15 of the section IV of the Poetics by Aristotle, in which the philosopher states that the tragedy arose τῶν ἐξαρχόντων τὸν διθύραμβον, i.e. of the initiators of this cultic hymn, sung in honor of Dionysus as a ritual song that was aimed at their worship. In the analysis, it was observed that, for Aristotle, the soloists of dithyramb provided the model of the "responsive" collaboration, between the individual and the choir, which would develop the dialogic and dramatic element of tragedy.
