Book Description
Ecclesiazusae, probably produced in 391 BC, is at once a typically Aristophanic fantasy of gender inversion, obscenity and farce, the earliest surviving work in the western Utopian tradition, and the source of a blueprint for a communist society on which Plato may well have drawn in his Republic.
Politics and Persuasion in Aristophanes' Ecclesiazusae
Author: K.S. RothwellPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004329072
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This study shows that the Ecclesiazusae is an affirmation of the importance of persuasion in the fourth- century democracy. Praxagora, the attractive and articulate female protagonist, virtually personifies peitho, the realm of both political persuasion and erotic seduction. The ability of peitho to address both public and private motivations makes it the perfect instrument to resolve the tension in the fourth century between selfishness and civic participation. This is, after all, the central issue in the later episodes of the play.

Lest for stranglings this uncertainty afford a tempting cloak: For since wittingly the son his dad is often known to choke, Each youngster now, who feels inclined, the liberty will take Of throttling us old men--then say, " 'twas done through pure mistake." PRAXAGORA. If e'er in former times a son t'assault his father chose, Toajellyhemight beathim, yet none would interpose; But now self-preservation'sk law will bid each dad unite, At need, the graceless varlet to chastise with main and might. BLEPHYRUS. Thus far your words of wisdom smack; yet think what a disgrace. If the rakehell Epicurus' call me father to my face? PRAXAGORA. Amischance might you befallfarworse than even this. k " The elder shall he enjoined both to govern and to chastise the younger; and surely the younger, as becomes them, shall never attempt to beat the elder, or in any other way to offer violence to him; for there are sufficient guardians to hinder it, both fear, and reverence: reverence, on the one hand, restraining them from assaulting, as it were, their parents; and fear, on the other. lest others shall assist the sufferer, some as sons, others as brothers, and others as fathers." Taylor's transl. p. 304. 1 Epicurus and Aristyllus were worthies of the same st& "Arcades ambo," " blackguards both," as Byron has it. BLEPHYItUS. Ay, what? PRAXAGORA. If Aristippus call you dad, and then a kiss Impart. BLEPHYRUS. I'd shake the stinkard off, and pound his carcase well. PRAXAGORA. And pretty strongly afterwards of calamint"' you'd smell.
