A typological pattern is provisionally proposed of the written records of ancient Greek drama, based on literary, epigraphic and iconographic testimony, and on the most up-to-date critical debate on several related topics. The historical context of aurality and performance culture proper to classical Athens (5th-4th centuries BCE) is firstly considered, before focusing on the spread of (re)performances as well as the increasing of private reading of written literature and the birth of scholarship in the Hellenistic era (3rd-1st centuries BCE). The suggested typology includes ‘proleptic’ records, such as the autograph and the scripts copied for performers (actors, chorus), and ‘analeptic’ records, such as scripts for posthumous reperformances, scholarly editions, and copies for private reading. As a result, the essay underscores the need for a reassessment of the traditional aims, targets and means of classical philology when it points towards the products of ancient Attic drama.
The article explores the hybrid character of Dionysos/Heracles in Aristophanes’comedy Frogs in order to shed further light on his physical appearance. An analysis of several of Aristophanes’ choices probably demonstrates that Dionysos/Heracles in the first part of Frogs was represented as a fat beardless god. It is likely that this character was a sarcastic parody of the new beardless iconographies of both Heracles and Dionysos. This interpretation of textual references regarding the physical appearance of Dionysos/Heracles is supported by important iconographic evidence. The author’s analysis enables her to draw a conclusion concerning the role of divine parody on stage as part of Aristophanes’ well-known criticism of the corruption of modern Athenian “culture” in contrast with the city’s “golden age.”
