Aristophanes' traditionalisme. (Avec sommaire). - KASSIES, W.,

KORTE INHOUD

'This is a concise, sensible, and sensitive essay on a familiar topic: Aristophanes' attitude to the past and his dramatic exploitation of it. (...) The complexities of Comedy as an art-form have been adequately explored, and its role as a 'protest against reality' has been perceived; we must also take account of the fact that there exists a type of temperament, resilient and fundamentally irreverent, to which everything has its funny side, and this temperament, a strong weapon in times of suffering and war (which the Greeks half regarded as an inescapable phenomenon of nature), was one of Aristophanes' assets.' (K.J. DOVER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1965, p.223).
