Middle Comedy and the “Satyric” Style
The evolution of comedy from Aristophanes to Menander has intrigued scholars since antiquity. A number of factors contributed to comedy’s development during the fourth century, but a major influence that has not been appreciated is fifth-century satyr drama. Analysis of fragments and ancient literary commentaries reveals that various characteristic elements of Middle Comedy (e.g., mythological burlesque, domestic and erotic themes, a generally de…
Conclusion
Extract Satyr drama in ancient Greece had a complex relationship with tragedy and comedy, sharing formal associations with the former and conceptual connections with the latter. The complexities of this relationship are captured on a red-figure volute crater from around 430 (fig. 7.1). Two satyrs, both named Simos (Snub-nosed), run toward two Maenads, named Kômôidia and Tragôidia. Tragedy holds a thyrsus in her hand and looks back at the satyr as…
Sicilian Comedy and the Attic Satyr Play
Prior to its formal introduction in Athens, comedy thrived in Sicily, but the fragmentary remains, specifically those of Epicharmus, resemble Middle Comedy more closely than Attic comedy of the fifth century. Scholars have tended to dismiss these generic similarities as coincidence, since the connections could not have been direct, but this chapter suggests that Athenian satyr drama bridges the gap between Doric and Middle Comedy. Epicharmean com…
Genitalia of the Sea’: Seafood and Sexuality in Greek Comedy
Fish play a sizable role in the remains of ancient Greek comedy. Although scholars have proposed various cultural, economic, and generic explanations for comedy’s interest in sea creatures, they have not adequately considered the importance of seafood’s relationship to obscenity and sexuality. Greek comic poets correlate a range of sea creatures with sex and sexuality in imaginative and humorous ways, making obscene jokes about courtesans and aph…
Middle Comedy and the "Satyric" Style
Although "Middle Comedy" may best serve as a chronological label, the remains of pre-Menandrian, fourth-century comic productions suggest that certain characteristics were more dominant at this time than in earlier or later periods of Greek comedy. The possible sources for these characteristics are wide-ranging, but available evidence indicates that fifth-century satyr drama was one of the most important. Not only do fragments, titles, and plots …
