Recognition [anagnorisis], on the other hand, just as the name too signifies, is a change from ignorance [agnoia] to knowledge [gnosis], whether toward friendship or enmity, of those whose relation to good or ill fortune has already been defined. A recognition is most beautiful when it comes to be at the same time as a reversal, for example as it is in the Oedipus.
