Sidwell: The Parodos Of Aristophanes Knights

Extractions: PAPHLAGON: Venerable jurymen! Brethren of the Order of the Three Obols, whom I feed by my loud denunciations, true or false! Come to my aid, for I am being beaten up by conspirators! CHORUS-LEADER: What a fraud! What a supple rogue! Do you see how he tries to flatter us and humbug us, as if we were senile? Well, if he moves this this ; and if he tries to duck out this At 255-7, the Paphlagonian calls his own troops into the battle to defend him. These are, of course, the old jurors who are familiar to us from Wasps of 422, but not yet at the Lenaia of 424 to the audience of Knights . At the end of his appeal, line 257, he gives the reason for it as follows But it is very odd that he should have to explain that he is being beaten to the very people who are beating him. And what is the explanation of the prefix xun- and the intensive in 266?

Extractions: 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.

aristophanes and the Old Comedy. from The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton. Toread aristophanes is in some sort like reading an Athenian comic paper.
http://www.emory.edu/ENGLISH/DRAMA/Aristophanes.html

Extractions: "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.

These plays are not for those easily shocked by the graphic por trayal of various parts of the male anatomy, or the sort of innuendo which would have had them rolling in the aisles back in the Golden Age and, for that matter, to this day. Aristophanes' plays are r egularly performed on stages all over the world. If you come across copies of old school texts, you will find that huge chunks have been lifted so as not to offend the eyes of the younger reader - and quite right too!

In many respects, The Knights may be reckoned the great Comedian's masterpiece, the direct personal attack on the then all-powerful Cleon, with its scathing satire and tremendous invective, being one of the most vigorous and startling things in literature.

http://aphorismen-archiv.de/autoren/autoren_a/aristophanes.html

Extractions: Aristophanes Aristophanes wurde um 445 vor Christus in Athen geboren. Athen war zu dieser Zeit Hauptstadt Attikas und die neben Sparta bedeutendste Stadt Griechenlands. Mit dem Geburtsjahr des Aristophanes setzt eine Friedens- und Blütezeit Athens unter Perikles ein (Friede mit Sparta, bereits 449 v. Chr. mit den Persern), die 431 v. Chr. durch den 20 Jahre währenden Peloponnesischen Krieg (431-404 v. Chr.) beendet wird. Aristophanes' Gedankenwelt war eher konservativ geprägt, und seine politischen und philosophischen Präferenzen (Bevorzugung der Aristokratie und älterer Philosophie gegenüber der Demokratie und den Sophisten) sind stets in seinen Stücken präsent bis hin zur Auseinandersetzung mit prominenten Zeitgenossen (Euripides, Sokrates u. a.). Von seinen insgesamt 44 satirischen Stücken sind elf erhalten geblieben, davon neun aus der Zeit des Peleponnesischen Krieges. Seine ersten drei Komödien wurden unter Pseudonymen aufgeführt. 426 v. Chr. wurde Aristophanes Erstling "Die Babylonier" aufgeführt und im darauffolgendem Jahr 425 v. Chr. "Acharnes" (Die Acharnern), in letzterem attackiert er die athenische Kriegspolitik und setzt sich für einen Friedensschluss mit Sparta ein. 424 v. Chr. wurde die erste Komödie "Hippes" (Die Ritter) unter seinem eigenen Namen aufgeführt und ist eine bissige, allerdings verschlüsselte Satire auf Athener Politiker, vor allem auf den Militärführer und Demagogen Kleon, den Aristophanes bereits in "Die Babylonier" scharf angegriffen hatte, sodass der Betroffene mit einer Beleidigungsklage reagierte.

http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/netshots/clouds.htm

Extractions: Clouds The setting of the Clouds requires two doors in the skene , one representing Strepsiades's house and the other, the Thinkery, both in the city of Athens. The play begins with Strepsiades and Pheidippides sleeping in their beds. Since the ancient Greek theater had no curtain, these two men in their beds had to be carried out in full view of the audience by stagehands (probably slaves) and placed in front of one of the doors of the skene representing Strepsiades's house. The audience was no doubt expected to imagine that this was an indoor scene, because it was not usual for Greeks to sleep outside. This assumption is strengthened by the fact that, since Pheidippides is sleeping under five blankets, the weather is cool, which would make it even less likely that this was intended as an outdoor scene. The method of presenting the scholarly activities that go on inside the Thinkery is by no means certain. K. J. Dover ( Aristophanic Comedy , Berkeley and Los Angeles, 1972, 107) suggests two possibilities. The students could come out of the door of the

Extractions: Table of Contents Plato's Apology 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.

Notes On Aristophanes' Wasps
History and analysis of aristophanes' play 'The Wasps.'Category Arts Literature aristophanes Works Wasps, TheNotes on the Wasps of aristophanes, probably put on in 422 BC But Cleon and hisoutrages are not the only object of aristophanes' attacks in this play.
http://www.chss.montclair.edu/classics/WASPSNTS.HTML

Extractions: Notes on the Wasps of Aristophanes, probably put on in 422 B.C. In 422 B.C. Aristophanes was a well known comic poet and had won first prize a number of times in the annual poetic contest. In several of the plays he had made savage attacks on Cleonm for example, his Knights Since the rate of jury pay was so low, old people and others who could find no other employment became professional jurors, and thus a large number of court cases to try was in their interest. Note how Philocleon describes how he and his fellows act during a trial; they like the power they have, and how the powerful grovel; worse, note how Philocleon admits that if In other words, the jury is able to ignore the law at will. We should also remember that this play was produced during the Peloponnesian war with Sparta. This was a time of deprivation, and greater than normal poverty. Goverment officals were tempted to get money by convicting some wealthy citizen and take all his property as part of the punishment. Indeed, prosecutors would sometimes tell the jury that, unless the accused was convicted, they would not get their jury pay! Further, since this was wartime, and there were deep political conflicts among the Athenians, rumors of conspiracies abounded, as the play itself hints. Some people made a living by blackmailing the wealthy by saying that, unless they were paid off, they would claim that they had evidence of their traitorous activities. Others people would accept payment to falsely accuse political enemies. All this poverty, suspicion and passion did not help the court process to become more just.
