Talk:Ancient Greek comedy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This reads like a transcript of an old-fashioned source; presumably Bates, as cited. The use of Old Comedy for the period before Aristophanes, which has left us only fragments; seems rather odd, and severely dated to me. Comments? Septentrionalis 19:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Not a copyright violation, if Bates was published in 1906, he is in public domain. Septentrionalis 19:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but not of much current use. The phrase "seldom an honest love" was what struck me first; but, setting aside problems with obsolete language, Greek comedy scholarship has moved on a bit since 1906! Andrew Dalby 20:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More Information

I think it would be a good idea to list at least one or two of the more famous ancient Greek comedies here.

[edit] what the hell happened?

Haven't been here for a while what the hell happened. Forms of ancient greek comedy now only has new comedy in it. What happened to old, and middle they've been totally removed I went back and pasted some old stuff in as a makeswift but needs some attention from someone. I can't understand why someone would remove without replacement.(even if it is outdated infomation) Please don't revert without something to replace them. I however pretty much picked a random old page to copy infolmation, so changing the version is fine, and layout needs a bit of tweeking now also. If I have time I'll try to make the language a lttle less archaic. As I said above its a makeswift, I'll try to find a user who knows enough to reformate the old and middle sections now. If you have anything to say post I'll try to remember to come back here later and check page and discussion.

I wikified a bit today, and changed a few grammatical errors. otherwise excellent articleNathraq (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I have done some basic wikification, but it needs a lot more work. This is just not up to standard. m.e. (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
