Abstract

The conventional view of Aristophanes bristles with problems. Important testimony for Alcibiades’ paramount role in comedy is consistently disregarded, and the tradition that “masks were made to look like the komodoumenoi, so that before an actor spoke a word, the audience would recognize who was being attacked” is hardly ever invoked. If these testimonia are taken into account, a fascinating picture emerges, where the komodoumenoi are based on the Periclean household: older characters on Pericles himself, younger on Alcibiades. Aspasia, Pericles’ mistress, and Hipparete, Alcibiades’ wife, lie behind many female characters, and Alcibiades’ ambiguous sexuality also allows him to be shown on the stage as a woman, notably as Lysistrata. There is a substantial overlap between the anecdotal tradition relating to the historical figures and the plotting of Aristophanes’ plays. This extends to speech patterns, where Alcibiades’ speech defect is lampooned. Aristophanes is consistently critical of Alcibiades’ mercurial politics, and his works can also be seen to have served as an aide-mémoire for Thucydides and Xenophon. If the argument presented here is correct, then much current scholarship on Aristophanes can be set aside.

Abstract

Literary historians have long held the view that the plays of the Greek dramatist, Sophocles deal purely with archetypes of the heroic past and that any resemblance to contemporary events or individuals is purely coincidental. In this book Michael Vickers challenges this view and argues that Sophocles makes regular and extensive allusion to Athenian politics in his plays, especially to Alcibiades, one of the most controversial Athenian politicians of his day. Vickers shows that Sophocles was no closeted intellectual but a man deeply involved in politics and he reminds us that Athenian politics was intensely personal. He argues cogently that classical writers employed hidden meanings and that consciously or sub-consciously, Sophocles was projecting onto his plays hints of contemporary events or incidents, mostly of a political nature, hoping that his audience’s passion for politics would enhance the popularity of his plays.

Abstract

Wie die meisten unechten platonischen Schriften ist der Alkibiades II unzureichend erforscht. Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen zum pseudoplatonischen Alkibiades II enthalten umfangreiche Quellenforschungen, durch die die philosophischen Vorstellungen, die dem Werk zugrunde liegen, als die des Antisthenes erwiesen werden. Dabei werden neben den Memorabilien weitere philosophische Schriften des Xenophon und andere pseudoplatonische Dialoge in den Blick genommen, die in einzelnen Abschnitten dieselben Quellen wie der Alkibiades II zu verwenden scheinen. Im Alkibiades II werden einerseits Schriften des 4. Jh. v. Chr. (Platon, Antisthenes) als Quellen verwandt, andererseits wird gegen die Stoa des Zenon von Kition und den Peripatos der damaligen Zeit als zeitgenössische philosophische Konkurrenten polemisiert. Der pseudoplatonische Dialog ordnet sich auf Grund seiner Polemik und seines spezifischen Umgangs mit der philosophischen Protreptik in die Akademie z.Zt. des Polemon ein. Anhand seiner Struktur wird das Werk als ein sokratischer Alkibiades-Dialog verstanden. So ist sein Titel "Alkibiades" erklärbar.
