Chapter XIX: Section II: (Epic) imposes the obligation of a single action

as against the _Achilleis_ of Statius, the _Metamorphoses_ of
Ovid, “and many of the romances of our time” (58). The _Aeneid_
has not one action (63) and is not so well extended (_distesa_)
as the _Odyssey_ (66). Denores thinks that Aristotle intends
the same demands as to plot (_favola_, Chapter I) and even as
to component parts (Chapter VI) as for tragedy. Reviewing as
before in Chapter IX, he again demonstrates in Chapter X by a
story of Boccaccio.
