Abstract

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to analyze the late 5th century BC in Athens through the lens of an Aristophanic comedy. We shed light on the role of political factions (the hetaireia), which were not limited to public assemblies: by funding stage plays, they constituted a form of political persuasion over the citizens who would vote on matters discussed in the assemblies. For this purpose, we examined the choregic system as a form of domination, analyzed Andocides’ speeches from 415 BC about political disputes (both in theater and, more subtly, in opposition groups), and investigated the topic through a discourse analysis of the comedy The Frogs by Aristophanes (Bátrakhoi, 405 BC).

雅典剧场作为政治派别的舞台:阿里斯托芬喜剧《青蛙》中的政治争论(公元前405年)

摘要本研究的目的是通过亚里士多德喜剧的视角来分析公元前5世纪晚期的雅典。我们阐明了政治派别（hetaireia）的作用，它们不仅限于公共集会：通过资助舞台剧，它们构成了对公民的一种政治说服形式，公民将对议会讨论的事项进行投票。为此，我们研究了作为一种统治形式的舞蹈系统，分析了安多西德从公元前415年起关于政治争端的演讲（包括在戏剧中，更微妙的是，在反对派团体中），并通过对阿里斯托芬的喜剧《青蛙》（Bátrakhoi，公元前405年）的话语分析来调查这个话题。
