Hunt, Grenfell and the Satyr Play

The History Of European Theatre - En podkast av Philip Rowe - Mandager

Bonus Episode 36:Sometimes things conspire against the podcaster, as has happened to me in the last couple of weeks, meaning that I have not been able to get the promised episode up to scratch in time.  To make up for this and fill the gap I have created an episode that goes back to Greek theatre.  It looks at that most mysterious of the ancient Greek forms, the satyr play and two of the men who were instrumental in vastly increasing our knowledge of these things.The place of the satyr play in the history of Ancient Greek theatreThe satyr play as part of the Dionysia festivalThe satyr play as a counterpoint to tragedyThe later history of the satyr play‘Cyclops’ by EuripidesThe discovery of ‘Trackers’ by SophoclesThe paperologists Hunt and GrenfellThe finds at OxyrhincusArthur Hunt’s speech to the Egyptian Exploration Society(including the plot of Trackers)The Hypsipyle tragedy by Euripides, also in the Oxyrhincus findsThe Bacchae as a satyr playSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.ko-fi.com/thoetpwww.patreon.com/thoetpThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Hosted on Acast.
