Tolkien wrapped up in the format of a Monty Python movie. Ian Storey (Canada's Trent University) about Old Comedy of Aristophanes The comedy writer Aristophanes Aristophanes ( ) (c. 446 BC - c. 385 BC) was a Greek comic poet. He wrote at least 30 (54 to some) plays, 11 of which still survive, and his plays are the only surviving examples of Greek Old Comedy. The comedies of the Athenian playwright Aristophanes are a bit like our cabaret, full of jokes about actuality and politicians (especially Cleon), and parodies of contemporary literature (Euripides and Herodotus are among Aristophanes' victims). The jokes are not very subtle. Usually, someone comes up with a crazy plan (a private peace treaty, curing the blindness of the god of wealth...), and after some complications there is a happy ending with a nice dinner. In The Clouds , the philosopher Socrates is radicalized. In

    Extractions: The University of Adelaide Library eBooks Help 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. This play was later illustrated at length by Pablo Picasso

    Extractions: 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.

56. Van Steen, G.A.H.: Venom In Verse: Aristophanes In Modern Greece.
    of the book Venom in Verse aristophanes in Modern Greece by Van Steen, GAH, published by Princeton University Press.  
    http://press.princeton.edu/titles/6874.html
    
    Extractions: Aristophanes has enjoyed a conspicuous revival in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Greece. Here, Gonda Van Steen provides the first critical analysis of the role of the classical Athenian playwright in modern Greek culture, explaining how the sociopolitical "venom" of Aristophanes' verses remains relevant and appealing to modern Greek audiences. Deriding or challenging well-known figures and conservative values, Aristophanes' comedies transgress authority and continue to speak to many social groups in Greece who have found in him a witty, pointed, and accessible champion from their "native" tradition. The book addresses the broader issues reflected in the poet's revival: political and linguistic nationalism, literary and cultural authenticity versus creativity, censorship, and social strife. Van Steen's discussion ranges from attitudes toward Aristophanes before and during Greece's War of Independence in the 1820s to those during the Cold War, from feminist debates to the significance of the popular music integrated into comic revival productions, from the havoc transvestite adaptations wreaked on gender roles to the political protest symbolized by Karolos Koun's directorial choices.

57. Notes On Aristophanes' Wasps
    History and analysis of aristophanes play The Wasps.  
    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.

    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/6422/rev0568.html
    
    Extractions: Published: 411 B.C., translation 1957 One of the reasons that Aristophanes' plays still work - even though the situation and people they are satirising are thousands of years out of date - is the way that they develop their ideas. The modern equivalent in feel to his humour would probably be a combination between political and absurdist stand-up comedy. This usually works by taking a sensible idea and developing it to the point of absurdity, while Aristophanes does almost exactly the opposite. He takes an absurd idea (becoming a bird because you're fed up with human politics, making a private peace treaty with the enemy in a long running war) and develops it as though it were serious. In the case of Lysistrata , the absurd idea must have seemed completely ludicrous in a society in which it could be seriously debated whether women had minds at all. As in Women in Power , the play is about women taking over masculine politics. (And it should be remembered that another level of absurdity is provided by the fact that all the female parts would originally have been played by men in drag.) What they want is an end to the long-running Pelopponesian War - a motivation in several of Aristophanes' surviving plays - and the way that they intend to achieve this is to deny sex to their husbands until they see sense. The potential for comedy in this scenario is farily obvious, and Aristophanes makes a good deal out of it. The funniest moments are the women - desperate for sex themselves - trying to sneak past Lysistrata; Myrrhine - the name is the equivalent of something like 'sexpot' in then current Greek slang - working her husband up to a peak of frustration; and the delegation of Spartan men bent double to try to hide their erections. Not subtle, but very funny.
