Subsequently the play was revised, but the revisions were never completed. The text which survives is the revised version, which was apparently not performed in Aristophanes’ time but which circulated in manuscript form. This revised version does contain some anomalies which have not been fully sorted out (e.g., the treatment of Cleon, who died between the original text and the revisions). At the time of the first production, the Athenians had been at war with the Spartans, off and on, for a number of years.

23. Aristophanes Scarcely anything is known of aristophanes life apart from some few facts concerning his comedies. He was born about 445 BC in Attica. http://madeinatlantis.com/athens/aristophanes.htm

var TlxPgNm='aristophanes'; Back to Homepage Modern Athens Climate of Athens The Sunlight in Athens ... Mycenae Aristophanes In all, then, we possess eleven comedies, from the forty or forty-four which he is said to have written. Of these the best is the Birds, next to which come the Frogs, Clouds, and Thesmophoriazusae. But it would serve no purpose to set out in full the plot of these or any; for, strictly speaking, the 'story of the play' is unimportant. What matters is the one great explosive idea and its brilliant treatment in small scenes and lyrics beautiful or witty. Most of the eleven follow the same scheme. First is propounded a fantastic but highly desirable project, which is carried through by the chief character despite immense difficulties. Then comes the parabasis or address by the chorus to the audience in the poet's name. Finally we have a series of little scenes depicting the beneficent working of the accomplished object, ending with a kind of apotheosis of the hero.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures Readings from Ancient Greece Lysistrata Aristophanes / Translator Unknown SCENE: At the base of the Orchestra are two buildings, the house of Lysistrata and the entrance to the Acropolis; a winding and narrow path leads up to the latter. Between the two buildings is the opening of the Cave of Pan. Lysistrata is pacing up and down in front of her house. Lysistrata : Ah! if only they had been invited to a Bacchic revelling, or a feast of Pan or Aphrodite or Genetyllis, why! the streets would have been impassable for the thronging tambourines! Now there's never a woman here-ah! except my neighbour Cleonice, whom I see approaching yonder.... Good day, Cleonice. Cleonice : Good day, Lysistrata; but pray, why this dark, forbidding face, my dear? Believe me, you don't look a bit pretty with those black lowering brows. Lysistrata : Oh, Cleonice, my heart is on fire; I blush for our sex. Men will have it we are tricky and sly.... Cleonice : And they are quite right, upon my word! Lysistrata : Yet, look you, when the women are summoned to meet for a matter of the greatest importance, they lie in bed instead of coming.

Alice in Theaterland Theatre and acting resources Aristophanes Aristophanes is a Comedy Writer of 5th century BC. He is the only representative of Ancient Attik Comedy , that we have from him whole plays saved. By that we make the conclusion that he must have been the most popular of all the comedy writers not only of his time but of Hellenistic and Byzantine Times (when the greatest literature and plays of all times were transcripted and maintained). Father of comedy that brought to us, through Plauto, Terentio, Moliere and Shakespeare until now. Chronobiographie Aristophanes was born in 450 b.C. or a few years later. We make the conclusion for the year since in "Nefeles"- ("The Clouds") (528-533) the writer leaves us to think that he was extremely young and he didn't have self-confidence when the play "Thetalis" (his first play) was staged.

Aristophanes (c. 448 - 385) One of history's greatest comedy writers, Aristophanes is still a major source of inspiration to many modern writers. He was born in Athens and his fathers name was Philippos. He was well educated and is believed to have owned property on the island Aegina. His three sons, Philippos, Araros and Nikostratos, were all to be comic poets. Aristophanes was a conservative, favoring aristocratic to democratic rule, and was against reform and novelty. He preferred philosophy and theology in opposition to the new ideas of the Sophists. Eleven of his works have survived, but he is believed to have written over 40 plays. The three first plays he wrote were written under a pseudonym. One was The Achamians (425 BC) where he begs for an end of the war against Sparta. The first work under his real name was The Knights (424 BC), a satire of the Athenian politician and military leader Cleon. The Clouds (423 BC) was a satire about Socrates, whose ideas, he believed, where against the interests of the state. The Wasps (422 BC) was a satire of the justice courts, The Peace (421 BC) was another plea for peace with Sparta and The Birds (414 BC) was a satire on the Athenian fondness of litigation.

Looking at eleven plays, Strauss shows that this confrontation is essentially one between poetry and philosophy, and that poetry emerges as an autonomous wisdom capable of rivaling philosophy. recovery of the Great Tradition in political philosophy. The problem the book proposes centers formally upon Socrates. As is typical of Strauss, he raises profound issues with great courage. . . .

34. Aristophanes' Lysistrata The Classical Origins of Western Culture The Core Studies 1 Study Guide by Roger Dunkle Brooklyn College Core Curriculum Series http://depthome.brooklyn.cuny.edu/classics/dunkle/studyguide/lysistra.htm

The Classical Origins of Western Culture The Core Studies 1 Study Guide by Roger Dunkle Brooklyn College Core Curriculum Series LYSISTRATA Production The setting of the Lysistrata requires at least one door in the skene representing the Propylaea , the monumental gateway to the Athenian Acropolis . All the action of the play takes place in front of this background. An unusual aspect of the production of the Lysistrata is the use of two choruses, one of old men and the other of old women. The conflict between these two choruses forms an important part of the action of the play. In addition, there is a chorus of Spartans and a chorus of Athenians in the exodos. EXERCISE FOR READING, COMPREHENSION AND INTERPRETATION Prologue - Lysistrata, Calonice (sometimes given as Cleonike), Myrrhine, Lampito (1-253) The numbers in parentheses refer to lines in the Lysistrata. What is the dramatic purpose of the Prologue? What problem is Lysistrata concerned with (33)? What is Lysistrata's solution to this problem (124)? What will be the ultimate result if Lysistrata's solution is successful (148-154)? What does Lysistrata intend to have the women do (175-179)? The Lysistrata is set in the same year in which it was performed (411 B.C.). The play reflects the disgust with war prevalent at Athens after she had suffered the loss of the whole fleet and just about the whole army which had been sent to Sicily (413 B.C.). In addition, many of the members of the Athenian Empire had begun to revolt.

Er wurde vermutlich um 448 v. Chr. als Sohn des Philippus in Kydathen, einem Stadtteil Athens, geboren. Von 430-428 v.

Auch sp¤ter hat er sich ¶fters durch diesen oder Philonides vertreten lassen.

Aristophanes and the Old Comedy from The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton "TRUE COMEDY," said Voltaire, "is the speaking picture of the Follies and Foibles of a Nation." He had Aristophanes in mind, and no better description could be given of the Old Comedy of Athens. To read Aristophanes is in some sort like reading an Athenian comic paper. All the life of Athens is there: the politics of the day and the politicians; the war party and the anti-war party; pacifism, votes for women, free trade, fiscal reform, complaining taxpayers, educational theories, the current religious and literary talk everything, in short, that interested the average citizen. All was food for his mockery. He was the speaking picture of the follies and foibles of his day. The mirror he holds up to the age is a different one from that held up by Socrates. To turn to the Old Comedy from Plato is a singular experience. What has become of that company of courteous gentlemen with their pleasant ways and sensitive feelings and fastidious tastes? Not a trace of them is to be found in these boisterous plays, each coarser and more riotous than the last. To place them in the audience is much more difficult than to imagine Spenser or Sir Philip Sidney listening to Pistol and Doll Tearsheet, just to the degree that Elizabeth's court was on a lower level of civilization than the circle around Pericles, and Aristophanes capable of more kinds of vulgarity and indecency than Shakespeare ever dreamed of.
