Twilight of the Attic Old Comedy Era. Notes on Aristophanes’ 'Wealth'
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
Wealth is the last saved Aristophanes’ comedy. This is the presentation of problems of social inequalities but personifications of poverty and wealth are also very important. The researcher’s attention is focused on Wealth which is portrayed as the comedy of borderland. It is difficult to categorize it as an example of Attic Old Comedy. And it is possible to think that the Aristophanes’ work belongs to Greek Middle Comedy. Images of old-Greek gods: Wealth, Zeus, Hermes have fundamental weight here. Also we can notice that Wealth is similar to fairy tale. It presents the vision of utopia which makes possible escape from concerns about daily life.
