Anagnorisis ænəgˈnɒrɨsɨs}}; {{lang-grc|ἀναγνώρισις}}), also known as '''discovery''', originally meant [[recognition]] in its Greek context, not only of a person but also of what that person stood for, what he or she represented; it was the [[hero]]'s suddenly becoming aware of a real situation and therefore the realization of things as they stood; and finally it was a perception that resulted in an insight the hero had into his relationship with often antagonistic [[fictional character|characters]] within [[Aristoteles|Aristotelian]] [[tragedy]].
