Book excerpt: Excerpt from Euripides Cyclops, Vol. 1: Introduction and d104 I. Its origin. Like all the dramatic products of the Greek genius, the satyric drama carries us back to the festivals and worship of Dionysus. The joyous rites of the wine-god called forth all the mimetic instincts of the race, and the worshippers fancied themselves to be followers in his train, and impersonated his favourite attendants. But all along, there seem to have been two aspects of these festivals, a joyful and a sad; for had not Bacchus himself had his adverse, as well as his prosperous times? and were not the wealth and fertility of spring-tide - which the god symbolized - tempered and chastened by the gloom and seeming barrenness of winter? The wine-god, too, was the dispenser both of joy and sorrow to his votaries; hence his praises were sung sometimes in an exalted, sometimes in a minor key. Doubtless, too, there would be corresponding differences between his winter and his spring festivals: and the joyousness of the dithyramb would be at times exchanged for a sadder and more subdued tone.

Download or read book Euripides Cyclops written by Carl A. Shaw and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its ribald chorus of ithyphallic, half-man / half-horse creatures, satyr drama was a peculiar part of the Athenian theatrical experience. Performed three times each year after a trilogy of tragedies, it was an integral part of the 5th- and 4th-century City Dionysia, a large festival in honour of the god Dionysus. Euripides: Cyclops is the first book-length study of this fascinating genre's only complete, extant play, a theatrical version of Odysseus' encounter with the monster Polyphemus. Shaw begins with a look at the history of the genre, following its development from early 6th-century religious processions up to the Hellenistic era. He then offers a comprehensive analysis of the Cyclops' plot and performance, using the text (alongside ancient literary fragments and visual evidence) to determine the original viewing experience: the stage, masks, costumes, actions and emotions. A detailed examination of the text reveals that Euripides associates and distinguishes his version of the story from previous iterations of the myth, especially book nine of Homer's Odyssey. Euripides handles many of the same themes as his predecessors, but he updates the Cyclops for the Athenian stage, adapting his work to reflect and comment upon contemporary religious, philosophical and literary-musical trends.

Download or read book Euripides Cyclops written by Richard Hunter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euripides' Cyclops is the only example of Attic satyr-drama which survives intact. It is a brilliant dramatisation of the famous story from Homer's Odyssey of how Odysseus blinded the Cyclops after making him drunk. The play has much to teach us, not just about satyr-drama, but also about the reception and adaptation of Homer in classical Athens; the brutal savagery of the Homeric monster is here replaced by an ironised presentation of Athenian social custom. Problems of syntax, metre and language are fully explained, and there is a sophisticated literary discussion of the play. This edition will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying Greek literature, as well as to scholars.

Book excerpt: A new translation of Cyclops, a Satyr play by Euripides. Cyclops is the only Satyr play to have survived in full. The Satyr plays took as their theme a well-known mythological story: here, the story is of Odysseus? encounter with the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Satyrs and their elderly leader, Silenus (whose sole desire is to spend an easy life honouring Bacchus with wine and pursuing nymphs) are introduced into the story, the Satyrs forming the chorus. In Cyclops, Silenus and his satyrs have already come into contact with Polyphemus and been enslaved by him. The Satyrs were not heroic, but are always ready to join in witty repartee ? from a safe distance. Silenus provides much of the humour, derived in large measure from his insatiable desire for alcohol. The play follows the traditional storyline and reaches the traditional conclusion ? with the escape of Odysseus and the remnants of his crew, accompanied in this case by the joyful Silenus and his Satyrs.
