OVERVIEW

In this course we will read, in the original language, three Greek comedies: Aristophanes' Thesmophoriazusae and Frogs, two classics of Old Comedy, as well as Menander's Dyskolos, the best-preserved example of New Comedy. We will also read extensively from Aristophanes, Menander and other ancient authors in translation, as well as from a broad range of modern scholarship, to illuminate the social, historical, cultural and religious aspects of Greek Comedy and Athens in the late 5th century B.C. and beyond.


GOALS

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Discuss the social/political climate of Athens in the late fifth century B.C., as well as in the late fourth/early third century B.C., as illuminated by Greek comedy.
  • Trace the the careers of Aristophanes and Menander and their interactions with their peers and contemporaries.
  • List some of the characteristics of Greek tragedy—and specifically that of Euripides—a favorite target of Aristophanes in both the Thesmophoriazusae and the Frogs.
  • Describe the style of Aristophanes and Menander: their word-choice, rhythm, organization, syntactic and grammatical peculiarities and favorite themes.
  • Illuminate the structures of Old and New Comedy: their stock characters, social functions, vocabulary, and political significance.
  • Assess the importance of Aristophanes and Menander in Classical and Hellenistic Greece and their legacy in later antiquity and beyond.

PREREQUISITES

For undergraduates (Greek 402), the prerequisites are satisfaction of the mid-career writing assessment (MCWA) and successful completion of Greek 202; for graduate students (Greek 502), the prerequisites are three units of 400-level Greek.

GRADING

Grading for the course will be based on the following breakdown:

  • Attendance/Participation (30% for Greek 422, 20% for Greek 522): How often you come to class and how enthusiastically—and effectively—you participate in class discussions. I will not take attendance, but I will keep an eye out for regular absences and reserve the right to arbitrarily deduct points from those who choose to cut.

  • Presentations (5% each, 10% total; *Greek 522 students ONLY*): Each student enrolled in Greek 522 will give two 10–15-minute presentations on subjects connected with our readings in Greek comedy throughout the semester. These presentations should be professional and rehearsed, and students should consult the Classics Department's Handout on Handouts and PowerPoint Presentations for tips on presenting. Presentations will begin on Tuesday, January 29. A schedule of presentations and presenters will be distributed in class by the end of the second week of the semester.
  • Hour Exams (15% each, 45% total): There will be three hour exams in this course. The first will occur on Thursday, February 21; the second on Thursday, April 10; the third on Thursday, May 15 (from 2:00–4:00 p.m.; this last hour exam will take the place of our final exam). Each of the exams will focus primarily on translating a specified portion of the speech (outlined in class) but also on providing grammatical, syntactic and general commentary. Students enrolled in Greek 502 will be required to write a more difficult exam than those enrolled in 402. Do not miss the exams.
  • Final Paper (20%): In lieu of a substantial final exam, students will select a topic of their own choosing and write a final paper. Greek 422 students will write commentaries; Greek 522 students will write traditional term papers. Guidelines for the style, length and content of each paper type are posted here. Information on the formatting of the final paper can be found in the Classics Department's Style Sheet for Graduate Seminar Papers and Theses. When the final paper is handed in, it should include a completed copy of the Department's Checklist for Submitting Final Papers. The final paper is due by 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 17. No late papers will be accepted.
  • Final Paper Presentation (5%): In conjunction with his or her final paper, each student will give a presentation during the last week of class on his or her topic of choice. See the guidelines for presentations listed above.

OTHER INFO

Surprise! Cheating is not allowed. If you cheat, and I find out, you will receive a grade of 0 for the assignment and other bad things will happen. (See the U of A's code of academic integrity.)

Office hours will be held whenever I am in my office. One can generally find me there between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., M–F. (A more detailed breakdown of when I will be available will be posted outside my office door.) You are also welcome and encouraged to make an appointment to meet with me. Call, email or holler.


COURSE SCHEDULE

What follows is a sketch outline of the Spring semester. Nightly reading assignments are due on the dates specified. Reading assignments in Greek are in boldface. You are responsible for reading in translation whatever you are unable to finish in Greek.

Some of the reading assignments are pdf (portable document format) files. To view/download them, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download available here).

Check this page often. Readings and assignments are subject to change. I'll try to give a heads-up in class if a major shake-up is imminent. I'll also try to have readings posted at least a week before the due date.


Part 1: Thesmophoriazusae

We begin the course with Aristophanes' famous satire of Euripides, the Thesmophoriazusae, in which Euripides himself is a main character and his foes a group of women who want him dead for revealing in his plays their hitherto secret infidelities. The play is famous for its portrayal of the tragic playwright (allegedly a misogynist), its inversion of gender, and its blurring of the lines between tragedy and comedy.

Part 2: Frogs

In the second part of the course, we'll turn to the Frogs, arguably Aristophanes' best and/or best-loved play. Bemoaning the current state of Athenian drama, Dionysus travels to Hades to retrieve Euripides and ends up judging a dramatic competition between Euripides and Aeschylus. Among other things, the play provides a fantastic view of the popular reception of Athenian tragedy in the late 5th century B.C.

4/10 Hour Exam #2


Part 3: Dyskolos

To conclude the course, we'll read the only example of New Comedy that survives in its (almost) entirety: Menander's Dyskolos. The world of the Dyskolos appears strange and sanitized when contrasted with that of Old Comedy: profanity, politics and philosophy are shunted aside in favor of clever slaves, marriage schemes and stock plots. Even the format of the plays is different: the comic choruses are gone, and the action is divided up over acts. The plot of the Dyskolos revolves around a grouch, his neighbors and the consequences of his anti-social behavior.
