In the latter part of the book, attention shifts to the startling land formations of the...

Aristophanes and Alcibiades: Echoes of Contemporary History in Athenian Comedy
ISBN: 9783110437539 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study of Aristophanes provides the basis for a total re-assessment not only of Aristophanes as a poet and playwright, but also of our perception of politics and the role of the theatre in classical Athens. It shows how Aristophanes used allegorical means to comment on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians, in particular the problems presented by the gradual emergence of Alcibiades as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This study of Aristophanes provides the basis for a total re-assessment not only of Aristophanes as a poet and playwright, but also of our percepti... |

Pericles on Stage: Political Comedy in Aristophanes' Early Plays
ISBN: 9780292734937 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the eighteenth century, classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet, according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes, when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens, Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work, Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays, Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of... Since the eighteenth century, classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "... |

Aristophanes and Alcibiades: Echoes of Contemporary History in Athenian Comedy
ISBN: 9783110578225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The conventional view of Aristophanes bristles with problems. Important testimony for Alcibiades’ paramount role in comedy is consistently disregarded, and the tradition that “masks were made to look like the komodoumenoi, so that before an actor spoke a word, the audience would recognize who was being attacked” is hardly ever invoked. If these testimonia are taken into account, a fascinating picture emerges, where the komodoumenoi are based on the Periclean household: older characters on Pericles himself, younger on Alcibiades. Aspasia, Pericles’ mistress, and Hipparete,...
