Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP Aristophanes, I, Acharnians. Knights Aristophanes Edited and translated by Jeffrey Henderson Winner of the 2001 Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit BCE ), one of the world's greatest comic dramatists, has been admired since antiquity for his iridescent wit and beguiling fantasy, exuberant language, and brilliant satire of the social, intellectual, and political life of Athens at its height. He wrote at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived complete. In this new Loeb Classical Library edition of Aristophanes, Jeffrey Henderson presents a freshly edited Greek text and a lively, unexpurgated translation with full explanatory notes. The general introduction that begins Volume I reviews Aristophanes' career and brings current scholarly insights to bear on the intriguing question of the comic poet as a political force. In Acharnians a small landowner, tired of the Peloponnesian War, magically arranges a personal peace treaty and, borrowing a disguise from Euripides, demonstrates the injustice of the war in a contest with the bellicose Acharnians. Also in this volume is Knights

The historical origins of tragedy and comedy are often sought in Greek religious ritual. A ritual origin for tragedy is difficult to establish, but there are several elements in the so-called *Old Comedy that can be employed to make a good prima facie case for the development of 5th-century Athenian comedy out of Dionysiac rites. The Greek komoidia means "the song of the komos." A komos komos often involved masks and costumes, as does Mardi gras, but was marked by another practice foreign to most festivals in modern North America: aischrologia or the ritual abuse of individuals. Another distinctive feature, found in many Dionysiac rites and no doubt in some komoi

The University of Adelaide Library eBooks Help Aristophanes (ca. 446 BC - 385 BC) Biographical note Aristophanes was a Greek comic poet, famous for writing plays, especially comedies such as The Birds for the two Athenian festivals: the Dionisia and the Lenea. Many of his plays were political, and he is known to have been prosecuted for Athenian law's equivalent of libel more than once. A famous comedy, The Frogs, was given the unprecedented honor of a second perfomance. He appears in Plato's Symposium, giving a humorous mythical account of the origin of Love. The Clouds pokes fun at famous figures, notably Socrates, and may have contributed to the common conception of the philosopher as a Sophist. Lysistrata was written during the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta and presents a pacifist theme in a comical manner: the women of the two states deprive their husbands of sex until they stop fighting.

Aristophanes for Kids - an ancient Greek comic playwright Aristophanes Aristophanes (done later on, by someone who had never seen him) Aristophanes (arr-iss-TA-fa-knees) lived in Athens at about the same time as Euripides , about 450-388 BC , but Aristophanes wrote comedies instead of tragedies. Most of Aristophanes' plays are political satire. They make fun of the politicians of Athens, sometimes in general, and sometimes mocking one specific politician. One of his plays, Lysistrata, poked fun at the generals who would not end the Peloponnesian War , and said that women could do a better job of making peace. Another play, the Frogs, was a sad commentary on the deaths of Sophocles and Euripides , and on the difficulty of using art to make peace. The Wasps makes fun of the Athenian jury system To find out more about Aristophanes and Greek theater, check out some of these books from Amazon.com or from your library: Greek Theatre , by Stewart Ross (1999).

Study Guide For Aristophanes' Lysistrata To help with the usual barrage of people, places and things, use the Glossary which begins on page 599. The plot is about as simple as it gets: Athenian women, fed up with the Peloponnesian War, barricade themselves in the Acropolis and go on a sex strike to force their husbands to vote for peace with Sparta. This plot demonstrates that the overriding mode of Aristophanic comedy is fantasy. In the Congresswomen women take over the assembly to save Athens from corrupt politicians. So consider that, while in tragedy assertive women cause catastrophe, in comedy they bring joy and harmony. But Aristophanes is not content to turn the tables and present purely virtuous women and venal men; consider why, exactly, they are so upset about the duration of the war. To paraphrase Freud, what do these women really want? Note in the first scene how difficult Lysistrata finds it to interest other women in her plan. Part of the original humorous effect derives from Greek staging practice. Remember that all the actors are male. Also, a prominent part of the comic costume was a large leather phallus. The male characters in this play would walk around the stage with huge erections. This is not a comedy that for prudes. Most of the sexual innuendo that you see in virtually every line is actually there. The name of the play's heroine, Lysistrata, means "releaser of war," which typifies the Aristophanic tendency for an "outsider" hero whose indicates his or her function. Interestingly, there was an important priestess in Athens at that time whose name, Lysimache, meant "releaser of the battle." However, it is impossible to say this significance of this possible coincidence. Think about the character of Lysistrata and how the audience might have viewed her. What figure in mythology or tragedy does she most resemble?

56. Aristophanes' Lysistrata:  Sex Strike - Never Happen aristophanes’ significant contributions in the development of the theater arts and his standing in the Athenian community are well documented. http://www.pillowrock.com/ronnie/lysistrata.htm

Research Papers and Essays Ronnie Oldham Aristophanes' Lysistrata: Sex Strike - Never Happen Lysistrata Wives, in ancient Greece, were strategically selected for the purpose of producing legitimate heirs and maintaining control of property (Gulick 57). They were typically not the objects of their husband’s sexual desire. "Marriage was a matter of good family, good dowry, and good health. Given the differences in ages, education and experience, there were no real grounds for companionship. Bearing children and managing a household were all that would ordinarily have been asked of a wife" (Hooper 254). Athenian men, unlike women, had opportunities for sex outside marriage that carried no penalties. Besides sex with female slaves, who could not refuse their masters, men could choose between various classes of prostitutes and hetaera. Reay Tannahill noted in her book, Sex in History , "What Athenian men liked about the hetairai was that they excelled at all the things those same men prevented their wives from learning" (101). Though the primary motivation for the women of Lysistrata Although many Athenians believed that women were potentially capable of intellectual and philosophical thought, the exclusion of women from the polis and the need to keep the mothers of their heirs safe at home kept women ignorant of affairs of state. Even Aristotle remarked that "the female indeed posses [the faculty of deliberation], but in a form which remains inconclusive" (Austin 182). Women’s views of political affairs were not taken very seriously and the attitude of the commissioner was probably typical of the Athenian citizen. Women should attend to their carding and weaving. "War’s a man’s affair."

BECK index Greek Philosophers and Aristophanes Pythagoras Empedocles and Socrates Comedies of Aristophanes Diogenes ... Apollonius of Tyana Don't stir the fire with a knife. Pythagoras Let no man by word or deed persuade you To do or to say that which is not best for you. Pythagoras I myself would wish neither; but if it were necessary either to do wrong or to be wronged, I should choose rather to be wronged than to do wrong. Socrates in Plato, Gorgias O that Love would you and me unite in endless harmony. Aristophanes, The Acharnians Greek religion from at least the time of Hesiod had a divinity called Peace (Irene), and in this cult animal sacrifices were not allowed. Peace was depicted in sculpture as the mother of Wealth (Plutus). Many of the religious cults of ancient Greece joined together in amphictyonic leagues in order to preserve peace by means of mediation and conciliation between the city states. They protected people and sacred places by maintaining neutrality in time of war. They had a religious authority, but the council was composed of representatives from the various cities, giving it a democratic or federalist structure as a confederation of states. The most important amphictyonic council was Delphi which served the Greek peninsula. The lonians of Asia Minor were in the Delian amphictyony. The Delphic council exercised judicial powers and could be used to arbitrate disagreements. Even when wars did break out, amphictyonic law prohibited member states from cutting off water supplies and burning down cities; those who disobeyed these rules were liable to be destroyed by total war.
