This book argues that Old Comedy's parodic and non-parodic
engagement with tragedy, satyr play, and contemporary lyric is
geared to enhancing its own status as the preeminent discourse on
Athenian art, politics and society. Donald Sells locates the
enduring significance of parody in the specific cultural, social
and political subtexts that often frame Old Comedy's bold
experiments with other genres and drive its rapid evolution in the
late fifth century. Close analysis of verbal, visual and narrative
strategies reveals the importance of parody and literary
appropriation to the particular cultural and political agendas of
specific plays. This study's broader, more flexible definition of
parody as a visual - not just verbal - and multi-coded performance
represents an important new step in understanding a phenomenon
whose richness and diversity exceeds the primarily textual and
literary terms by which it is traditionally understood.
