Hubbard) ___________________________________ (Timothy J. Moore) For my grandfather, Jim MacLellan A Man of Science, Skill, and Ability Acknowledgements This report is the result of wonderful support from the faculty and fellow graduate students at the Classics Department of the University of Texas at Austin. I benefitted immensely from the guidance of Thomas Hubbard, whose careful eye as my advisor helped develop this work from its initial stages in his seminar to its present form. My second reader, Timothy Moore, was equally generous with his time and advice, both of which were also pivotal to my work. I would also like to especially thank Joseph Carter and Adam Rabinowitz for their counsel and encouragement, along with the rest of the staff at the Institute for Classical Archaeology. In addition, I am deeply grateful for generous correspondences with Professors Kate Bosher, Richard Green, and Alan Sommerstein. Where my work departs or differs from theirs, it is only because their eminent work in assessing the development of ancient comedy enabled me to do so.

Theodore Peña, Kim Shelton California Classical Studies publishes peer-reviewed long-form scholarship with online open access and print-on-demand availability. The primary aim of the series is to disseminate basic research (editing and analysis of primary materials both textual and physical), data-heavy re- search, and highly specialized research of the kind that is either hard to place with the leading publishers in Classics or extremely expensive for libraries and individuals when produced by a leading academic publisher. In addition to promoting archaeological publications, papyrolog- ical and epigraphic studies, technical textual studies, and the like, the series will also produce selected titles of a more general profile. The startup phase of this project (2013–2015) is supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

  • EURIPIDEAN PARACOMEDY DISSERTATION Presented In
    EURIPIDEAN PARACOMEDY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig Timothy Jendza, M.A Graduate Program in Greek and Latin The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Thomas Hawkins, Advisor Fritz Graf Dana Munteanu Copyright by Craig Timothy Jendza 2013 Abstract This dissertation explores the relationships between the dramatic genres of Greek comedy, tragedy and satyr drama in the 5th century BCE. I propose that Athenian tragedians had the freedom to appropriate elements and tropes drawn from comedy into their plays, a process that I call ‘paracomedy’. While most scholars do not admit the possibility of paracomedy, I suggest that there are numerous examples of paracomedy to be found in all three tragedians (Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides), though I focus on providing examples between Euripides and Aristophanes. In Chapter 1, I demonstrate the extent of paracomedy in tragedy, explore the theoretical background behind the interplay of genres and intertextuality, and provide a methodology for determining paracomedy based on distinctive correspondences, the priority of the comedic element, and the motivation for adopting features from outside the genre. In Chapter 2, I explore the rivalry between Euripides and Aristophanes concerning plots and scenes involving ‘sword-bearing’ and ‘razor-bearing’ men, arguing that the numerous references to ‘sword-bearing’ men in Euripides’ Orestes respond to Aristophanes’ parody of a ‘razor-bearing’ man in Thesmophoriazusae. In Chapter 3, I suggest that the parodos to Euripides’ Orestes is modeled on the parodos of Aristophanes’ Peace, due to the adoption of the comedic element ‘varying levels of choral volume in a madness scene’.

  • Prologue to Plautus's Amphitruo and Its Sense of Humour
    PROLOGUE TO PLAUTUS'S AMPHITRUO AND ITS SENSE OF HUMOUR By Dr. Mehmet ÖZAKTÜRK Most of the twenty-one extant plays of Plautus are thought to have been adapted from the comedies of various Greek dramatists, chiefly of the New Commedy1. They seem to be adaptations rather than trans­ lations, for, apart from the many allusions in his comedies to customs and conditions distinctly Roman, there is enough evidence in Plautus's language, style and his humour to show that he was not a close trans­ lator or imitator. The favourable judgement which certain Roman cri­ tics passed on his literary merits, on the whole, confirms this argu­ ment2. Taking this fact into consideration, H.J. Rose rightly says: ".. .. for the more, original genius of Plautus, one of the best comic writers of the world, did not allow him to follow so different an author as Menander, or indeed any Greek, with sufficient closeness for us to criticize the original on the basis of his adaptation."3 It is a well-known fact that every nation has its own peculiarities, and a piece of comedy, while being introduced to a different people, has to be adapted to its taste and pleasures. Accordingly we may be right in thinking that Plautus made radical changes particularly in language to achieve comic effect in Latin. At the same time we must 1 The original of the Asinaria is Said to he the Onagos of the unknown playwright Demo- philos (Asin- 11); from Diphilos of Sinope come two plays: The Casino is an adaptation of his Klerumenoi (Cas- 31—34) and the Rudens, probably of his Pera (Rud-, 32); perhaps the Vidu- laria and the lost Commorientes come from some other plays also of Diphilos; from Philemon's Emporos and Thesauros were translated respectively the Mercator (Mer-, 9—10) and the Tri- nummus (Trin-, 18—9), probably the Mostellaria also comes from him (Most-, 1149); from Me- nander's Adelphdi comes the Stichus, from his Dis Exapaton the Bacchides, from his Sunaristosai the Cistellaria, also the Aulularia comes from a play of Menander (title unknown).
