The esteem in which satyr drama was held in antiquity still arouses
curiosity and controversy. Twelve new papers, generated in North
America by a distinguished cast of scholars, explore questions
central to the genre. How did satyr drama relate to comedy and
tragedy; how closely was it tied to its tragic trilogy? How did the
Athenians react to pro-satyric drama, such as the "Alcestis"? How
far did satyr plays reflect contemporary political life? Fresh
conclusions are adduced from the fragments, particularly those of
Aeschylus, and there is special study of Euripides' Cyclops, not
least for its possible reflection of the fifth-century sophists.
