Il volume contiene diciotto saggi originali, scritti - su invito - da studiosi di fama internazionale, provenienti da varie università italiane o straniere, in occasione di questo convegno internazionale di studi in memoria di Adelmo Barigazzi nel centenario della nascita. Si affrontano le maggiori questioni che i recenti ritrovamenti papiracei hanno sollevato (o riproposto) sul testo e l'interpretazione di diverse commedie di Menandro, delineando un quadro autorevole e pienamente aggiornato delle nostre conoscenze in proposito. Si offre tra l'altro la primizia dell'edizione (con fotografia) di un nuovo frammento, finora inedito, del famoso (e discusso) papiro Michigan. Tutte le relazioni presentano aspetti notevoli di novità editoriale, con commenti di tipo filologico, linguistico e letterario, rilevanti per il dibattito culturale sulla commedia di Menandro, e quindi per la storia del teatro antico e della sua evoluzione, nonché per lo studio delle influenze esercitate dalla Commedia Nuova sulla tradizione posteriore, latina e italiana.

Lorsque l’on qualifie l’œuvre de Ménandre, auteur comique grec de la fin du IVe siècle av. J.-C., de « comédie tragique », il ne s’agit nullement d’une catégorie littéraire inventée par la Comédie Nouvelle, mais plutôt d’une impression de lecture, d’un mode de réception d’une œuvre qui s’inscrit dans une tradition intertextuelle. La présente étude s’attache en effet à montrer comment, à la suite des évolutions progressives de la Comédie Ancienne depuis l’époque d’Aristophane, et dans une ère nouvelle inaugurée en quelque sorte par la Poétique d’Aristote, Ménandre compose un discours comique à partir des cadres de la tragédie désormais « classique » – celle d’Euripide surtout. Il ne s’agit plus pour lui de critiquer les ressorts tragiques sur le mode de la dérision paratragique comme chez Aristophane, mais de les intégrer à l’intrigue et au discours comique. Ce faisant, le dramaturge se livre plus ou moins indirectement à un examen de ses pratiques littéraires, bien propre à susciter l’intérêt de notre modernité.

This book offers the first attempt at understanding interpersonal violence in ancient Athens. While the archaic desire for revenge persisted into the classical period, it was channeled by the civil discourse of the democracy. Forensic speeches, curse tablets, and comedy display a remarkable openness regarding the definition of violence. But in daily life, Athenians had to draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. They did so by enacting a discourse on violence in the performance of these genres, during which complex negotiations about the legitimacy of violence took place. Performances such as the staging of trials and comedies ritually defined the meaning of violence and its appropriate application. Speeches and curse tablets not only spoke about violence, but also exacted it in a mediated form, deriving its legitimate use from a democratic principle, the communal decision of the human jurors in the first case and the underworld gods in the second. Since discourse and reality were intertwined and the discourse was ritualized, actual violence might also have been partly ritualized. By still respecting the on-going desire to harm one’s enemy, this partial ritualization of violence helped restrain violence and thus contributed to Athens’ relative stability.
