Abstract

The comic playwright Menander was one of the most popular writers throughout antiquity. This book reconstructs his life and the legacy of his work until the end of antiquity employing a broad range of sources such as portraits, illustrations of his plays, papyri preserving their texts and inscriptions recording their public performances. These are placed within the context of the three social and cultural institutions which appropriated his comedy, thereby ensuring its survival: public theatres, dinner parties and schools. Dr Nervegna carefully reconstructs how each context approached Menander's drama and how it contributed to its popularity over the centuries. The resultant, highly illustrated, book will be essential for all scholars and students not just of Menander's comedy but, more broadly, of the history and iconography of the ancient theatre, ancient social history and reception studies.

Abstract

Der Kolax (Der Schmeichler) des Menander war in der Antike äußerst beliebt und spielte in der Geschichte des Parasiten auf der Komödienbühne eine zentrale Rolle. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Rezeptions- und Forschungsgeschichte, es stellt die im Original bzw. in Form lateinischer Bearbeitungen erhaltenen Quellen vor und bietet Editionen und Übersetzungen der Fragmente und Testimonien. Der dramaturgische Aufbau des Stückes sowie die Fragen, wer mit wem worüber spricht, werden im Dramaturgischen Kommentar behandelt. Die Interpretation konzentriert sich auf den Zusammenhang des Kolax mit den Menander-Sentenzen, der Zuschreibung eines (möglichen) neuen Fragments, auf die Datierung sowie die Begriffsgeschichte von kólax und parásitos. Auch die Kernfrage der bisherigen Forschung zum Kolax nach der Anzahl der Parasiten wird diskutiert. Konkordanz und Bibliografie, sowie zwei Bildtafeln sind dem Buch beigegeben.

Abstract

Taking a fresh look at mistaken identity in the work of an author who helped to introduce the device to comedy, in this book Professor Traill shows how the outrageous mistakes many male characters in Menander make about women are grounded in their own emotional needs. The core of the argument derives from analysis of speeches by or about women, with particular attention to the language used to articulate problems of knowledge and perception, responsibility and judgement. Not only does Menander freely borrow language, situations, and themes from tragedy, but he also engages with some of tragedy's epistemological questions, particularly the question of how people interpret what they see and hear. Menander was instrumental in turning the tragic theme of human ignorance into a comic device and inventing a plot type with enormous impact on the western tradition. This book provides original insights into his achievements within their historical and intellectual context.

Abstract

Dieses Werk stellt die Publikationen des verstorbenen Wiener Klassischen Philologen auf dem Gebiet der Komödienforschung gesammelt zur Diskussion. Durch die Zusammenschau sämtlicher Publikationen, eines Vortrags und bislang nicht gedruckter Strukturpläne zu diesem Thema wird Primmers Suche nach Aufbauprinzipien der griechischen wie der römischen Komödie nachvollziehbar, die als Grundlage für seine unitarisch-analytische Forschung dienen sollte. Primmer’s Papers on the Structure of Action in the Nea and Palliata brings together the writings of the late Viennese classical philologist in the field of research on comedy. Reviewing the full corpus of his work on this topic makes it possible to track Primmer’s quest for structural principles in Greek and Roman comedy, which formed the foundation for his unitary analytic research.

Abstract

Die Adelphoe (Die Brüder) von 160 v. Chr. sind die letzte der sechs Komödien des Terenz. Sie wurden nach Menanders verlorenem gleichnamigen Stück gedichtet. Es wird versucht, einerseits aufgrund typisch menandrischer Passagen in der römischen Version das Original zu rekonstruieren, andererseits die Züge herauszuarbeiten, auf die es Terenz ankam. Es zeigt sich, daß an die Stelle griechischer Ethik römische Komik getreten ist. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den aktuellen juristischen Diskussionen der Scipionenzeit gewidmet.

Abstract

In Aristotle and Menander on the Ethics of Understanding , Valeria Cinaglia offers a parallel study of Menander’s New Comedy and Aristotle’s philosophy focusing on subjects ranging from epistemology and psychology to ethics. Cinaglia does not aim to demonstrate the direct philosophical influence of Aristotle on Menander, but explores the hypothesis that there are significant analogies between the two that disclose a shared thought-world. Cinaglia shows that Aristotle and Menander offer analogous views of the way that perceptions and emotional responses to situations are linked with the presence or absence of ethical and cognitive understanding, or the state of ethical character development: the study of these analogies contributes to a deeper understanding of both frameworks involved.

Abstract

Lorsque l’on qualifie l’œuvre de Ménandre, auteur comique grec de la fin du IVe siècle av. J.-C., de « comédie tragique », il ne s’agit nullement d’une catégorie littéraire inventée par la Comédie Nouvelle, mais plutôt d’une impression de lecture, d’un mode de réception d’une œuvre qui s’inscrit dans une tradition intertextuelle. La présente étude s’attache en effet à montrer comment, à la suite des évolutions progressives de la Comédie Ancienne depuis l’époque d’Aristophane, et dans une ère nouvelle inaugurée en quelque sorte par la Poétique d’Aristote, Ménandre compose un discours comique à partir des cadres de la tragédie désormais « classique » – celle d’Euripide surtout. Il ne s’agit plus pour lui de critiquer les ressorts tragiques sur le mode de la dérision paratragique comme chez Aristophane, mais de les intégrer à l’intrigue et au discours comique. Ce faisant, le dramaturge se livre plus ou moins indirectement à un examen de ses pratiques littéraires, bien propre à susciter l’intérêt de notre modernité.

Abstract

Reproducing Athens examines the role of romantic comedy, particularly the plays of Menander, in defending democratic culture and transnational polis culture against various threats during the initial and most fraught period of the Hellenistic Era. Menander's romantic comedies--which focus on ordinary citizens who marry for love--are most often thought of as entertainments devoid of political content. Against the view, Susan Lape argues that Menander's comedies are explicitly political. His nationalistic comedies regularly conclude by performing the laws of democratic citizen marriage, thereby promising the generation of new citizens. His transnational comedies, on the other hand, defend polis life against the impinging Hellenistic kingdoms, either by transforming their representatives into proper citizen-husbands or by rendering them ridiculous, romantic losers who pose no real threat to citizen or city. In elaborating the political work of romantic comedy, this book also demonstrates the importance of gender, kinship, and sexuality to the making of democratic civic ideology. Paradoxically, by championing democratic culture against various Hellenistic outsiders, comedy often resists the internal status and gender boundaries on which democratic culture was based. Comedy's ability to reproduce democratic culture in scandalous fashion exposes the logic of civic inclusion produced by the contradictions in Athens's desperately politicized gender system. Combining careful textual analysis with an understanding of the context in which Menander wrote, Reproducing Athens profoundly changes the way we read his plays and deepens our understanding of Athenian democratic culture.
