Eurípides aristofânico: a tragédia como artifício cômico

Abstract

In Acharnians Aristophanes to serve the Telephus of Euripides to defend himself as a poet and as a comic actor, such a model will be resumed in Thesmophoriazusae, the need for a new outfit, the feminine. Again when the tragedy was in Hades, and the city needed a bailout, the god Dionysus was disguised as Herakles to rescue Euripides, which, although replaced by Aeschylus, is still the motivation of the rescue of the tragedy in the world of the dead, in Frogs. Aristophanes, criticizing and assimilating the tricks of the tragedy by Euripides, the poet of the many solutions, sets the limits of his comedy and is distinguished as a poet and thinker in the Athens of the second half of the fifth century.
