Thank you for an interesting and concise summation of the major Greek philosophers’ views on the role and value of art! I wasn’t familiar with Aristotle’s ideas about art, and I am interested in knowing more about classical Greek concepts.
While it is a little dated, I still recommend Monroe Beardsley's Aesthetics from Classical Greece to the Present. It was written in 1975, but he does a great job of explaining the historical ideas.
