Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... first general class comprehends systematic periods in antistrophic relation, a-eaiv. The related parts (strophe, antistrophe) may be juxtaposed, a-weetav vTcnroSiSofteva.1 This relation of parts is found in stasima and sometimes elsewhere, as in Pax 775-96 = 797-818. But the antistrophe is generally separated from the strophe, in comedy, by an intervening series of verses in another rhythm to which a second series corresponds, as in the last half of the parabasis, in the debate and in syzygies. Thus Heliodorus commenting on Pax 939--55 says: fieo4 inrovou / ei eetv - ev Sieeia, with reference to the antistrophe in 1023-38. Such periods, therefore, may be denominated ev Sieeia (or Sie%eiav Heph.) avra-rroSiSo/ieva. On their semeiosis see 851. 1 The phraseology does not happen to Hephaestion, but is restored by Hense occur in the Aristophanio scholia nor in (Unterruchiingm, 131). 707. I. Melic. The period, on inspection, is discovered not to differ essentially in kind or constitution from those of the preceding general class. It is always a song, but it ie not used antistrophically. The following single 'non-antiatrophic melic periods occur in Aristophanes: --708. Prologue: Pax 114-23, . 209-22, Thesm. 101-29, Ran. 209-68. Parode: Nub. 457-75, Pax 582-600, Av. 22762, 400-33, Thesm. 312-30, 352-71. Scene: Ach. 263-79, Av. 904 ff., Thesm. 433-42, 459-65, 776-84, . 875-84. Syzygy: Nub. 707-22, Pax 512-19, Thesm. 659-66.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Verse of Greek Comedy Notwithstanding the considerable attention here given' to non-melic verse, its investigation is by no means complete. I have discussed caesura and diaeresis with particular care, but lack of space has precluded the study at any length of our poet's different manners in each sort of non-melic verse. The trimeters in one play, for example, differ in interesting particulars from those in another, and Aristophanes modulates his spoken verse skilfully to varying themes, although the range of emotion and sentiment is not so great in comedy as in tragedy.

The Art of Greek Comedy
Author: Katherine LeverPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000579271
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Originally published in 1956, this is a critical analysis of the comedies of Aristophanes and Menander studied in the context of the history of comedy, of the allied arts, and of contemporary life. Aristophanes and Menander are deservedly the most famous writers of Greek comedy. The extant comedies of Aristophanes are notable for wit, comical action, beautiful poetry, and the dramatization of such problems as health of mind and body, sex, money, government, law, religion, education, and drama, music and poetry. Menander portrays with delicate and sympathetic understanding a world in which the seeming evils of loss and discord eventually lead to the genuine goods of discovery and concord. The art of Aristophanes is critically examined in three chapters and that of Menander in one. For centuries Dionysos had been worshipped in a spirit of ecstasy which manifested itself in song, dance and the wearing of masks and costumes, pantomime, farce, and satire. The processes by which these diverse elements were developed and fused into the complex literary form of Old Comedy are the subject of the first three chapters. Aristophanes was not only pre-eminent as a writer of Old Comedy; he also participated in the transformation of Old Comedy into Middle Comedy, a curious and interesting dramatic form which is fully treated in the seventh chapter. In the last chapter the emergence of New Comedy is traced and the art of Menander criticized. The book ends with a brief indication of the various forms in which the spirit of Greek comedy had survived to the present day.

Book Description
The contributions to this volume illustrate how the linguistic study of Greek comedy can deepen our knowledge of the intricate connections between the dramatic texts and their literary and socio-cultural environment. Topics discussed include the relationship of comedy and iambus, the world of Doric comedy in Sicily, figures of speech and obscene vocabulary in Aristophanes, comic elements in tragedy, language and cultural identity in fifth-century Athens, linguistic characterizationin Middle Comedy, the textual transmission of New Comedy, and the interaction of language and dramatic technique in Menander. Research in these topics and in related areas is reviewed in an extensive bibliographical essay.While the main focus is on comedy, the diversity of the approaches adopted (including narratology, pragmatics, lexicology, dialectology, sociolinguistics, and textual criticism) ensures that much of the work applies to different genres and is relevant also to linguists and literary scholars.
