Socrates, Satyrs, and Satyr-Play in Plato's Symposium
Abstract:In the Symposium Plato associates Socrates with satyrs and satyr-play for two reasons: First, satyr-plays were the creation of tragic, not comic, playwrights, and Plato wishes to present his Socratic dialogues as the heirs to the prestige of an elevated, not a lewd, genre; second, the figure of the satyr, for all his rampant sexuality, is traditionally barren, a characteristic that Plato assigns (metaphorically) to Socrates in his role as midwife to the fecund minds of young men.
