Vickers, Michael J.
PERICLES ON STAGE Political Comedy in Aristophanes' Early Plays
University of Texas Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0292787278 . Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 255 pages; Since the eighteenth century classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays in a way that reveals the principal characters to be based in large part on Pericles and his ward Alcibiades. According to Vickers the plays of Aristophanes--far from being nonpolitical--actually allow us to gauge the reaction of the Athenian public to the events that followed Pericles' death in 429 B.C. to the struggle for the political succession and to the problems presented by Alcibiades' emergence as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This view of Aristophanes reaffirms the central role of allegory in his work and challenges all students of ancient Greece to rethink long-held assumptions about this important playwright. .

Noting differences from modern gestures and attending to variation that results from gender age and status Lateiner explores the "silent language" and "what goes without saying" among the heroes Odysseus Telemakhos and Penelope--but also the savage Kyklops the suitors and the servants. No previous work has thoroughly analyzed nonverbal behavior in Homeric epic. Gesture and posture conscious and unconscious manipulation of space and time and involuntary "leakage" such as twitching and shivering can intensify and underline--or contradict and ironize--the speech of characters and hexameter narrative.<br></div><div>A <i>Choice</i> Outstanding Academic Book for 1995.<br></div><div>"An important contribution to Homeric studies." --<i>Choice</i><br></div><div>"<i>Sardonic Smile</i> opens up new dimensions for the study of ancient literature; one may predict that analysis of the nonverbal 'parallel texts' will become increasingly common as a result of the important study." --Walter Donlan <i>Classical Journal</i><br></div><div>Donald Lateiner is John R.
