Note 155 — HEADS OF AN ANSWER TO RYMER's REMARKS ON THE TRAGEDIES OF THE LAST AGE.
Reading edition
"After much new-modelling, many changes, and alterations, Æschylus came with a second actor on the stage, and lessened the business of the chorus proportionably. But Sophocles adding a third actor and painted scenes, gave, in Aristotle's opinion, the utmost perfection to tragedy." Rymer's Remarks, p. 13.
