Greek Satyr Play

GREK 1050E S01 [CRN: 25337]

How are we to understand the dramatic genre of satyr play? Was satyr play more like tragedy, more like comedy, or entirely its own form? In this course we will read the only surviving satyr play (Euripides' 'Cyclops'), substantial fragments of lost plays (including Socrates' 'Trackers'), as well as Euripides' 'Alcestis', a play that seemed to combine elements of both the tragic and satyric genres. All primary texts will be read in the original Ancient Greek; those readings will also be supplemented by readings in modern scholarship. Prerequisite: GREK 0400 or equivalent.
