Abstract

The locus classicus for the didactic aspect of Greek tragedy is, of course, Aristophanes' Frogs, especially the passage at 1009–10 where Aeschylus and Euripides agree that tragic poets are valued τι βελτоυϲ…πоιоμεν τοϲ νθρπουϲ ν ταϲ πλεϲιν. But how seriously should we take this? It is comedy, after all.
