the antipodes of this Aristotelian theory of tragedy is that of Nietzsche. In fact, despite being outside the world of Greek tragedy, Nietzsche gives the opinion that perhaps comes closest to the truth and at the same time reverses all previous theories about art and how to make art greek. If, in fact, the verdict traditional Greek art is based on the idea of serenity, balance and size of the forms, then art is cathartic, purifying, to the contrary, Nietzsche is the result of living together and sharing the spirit of the Apollonian and Dionysian spirit. Apollo is the god "shining" is the prophetic impulse toward being perfect in itself, is what presides over the plastic arts. The spirit of Dionysus, on the contrary, avoidance, alienation, impulse, rebellion and disorder. Art is born of the antagonism and harmony of these two forces: the tragedy here is its essence, in fact, the Apollonian spirit and plasma provides a form to the Dionysian. Only in this way, the tragedy, despite losing all its cathartic function makes life worth living man. The same philosopher in favor of this says: "Art alone has the power to bend these ideas full of disgust, horror and the absurdity of existence to the representations that make life tolerable."
