![]() ![]() Entertainment is, I must warn the readers many names will be unfamiliar ignore, the important thing the uproarious exchange of scathing, no endearments put-downs the characters throw words against each. This is the fun part and knowledge of either one isn't necessary. ![]() Insults may be only words yet they will sting like a whip. Soon sparks fly when these two playwrights start tearing each others work apart, so the better writer is revealed to Dionysus. Now enters the big difficulty choosing either Euripides or Anschlus to take home both are superb and arrogant. Where the first people they meet at a tavern have a huge grudge, his brother's unpaid bills causes hate they think he's Hercules and not being heroic men, shakes the duo especially the god, treated badly the boys persevere. Picture the scene the slave is riding the donkey the owner walking, believe it or not? Finally receiving directions and seeing Charon the ferryman ( not the moon) to take them across the river Styx except Dionysus does the rowing.Poor Xanthias has to find another route being a lowly slave. His slave Xanthias smarter and braver than his master Dionysus, his laughs annoy. He is wiser than he looks my friends, a good possibility a god yes not an intellectual type a buffoon stating it mildly. Nevertheless this doesn't seem the best entrance for him. The action begins as Dionysus a minor local god visits his half-brother Hercules asking advise on how to get to Hades, not taken seriously he tells him to jump off a tower or hang himself and other unpleasant ways to get quickly there for sure. Imagine the fierce rivalries that produces. A god travels there in order to bring back a poet to the city to cheer up the crowds, a dead man mind you. Aristophanes play reflects the gloom a prolific writer with lots to say about their foibles and bold enough to do it, the comic genius amid the savagery can't help but continuously mock his fellow Greeks. Athens is about to lose what will be a 27 -year long grueling war to arch enemy Sparta surrendering the following year. The scholar James Redfield writes, “The conflict between Aeschylus and Euripides is a poetic manifestation of the contradiction between old and new politics, and the victory of Aeschylus is a rejection of a new way of life, a return to the old moral center.In 405 B.C. The choice of Aristophanes certainly reflects his views on the need for Athens. “Grant fine idea that will bring fine blessings” Conclusion Finally, Dionysus changes his previous longing and proclaims that he is choosing Aeschylus as the chorus says while on his journey to Hades. By the final stage of the contest, it is proved that Aeschylus is chosen as he has a proper interpretation of life. But the time comes to him since Euripides fails to be perfect regarding political urgency and Aeschylus wins because he shows sufficient wisdom and intelligence to protect the demos of Athens. Appreciation of the political sagacity of the poetsĭionysus is really helpless and confused to select one bringing back to human society for the protection of Athens. This stage of competition can be compared with all the literary criticism of the modern and post-modern periods of English literature. ![]() He laughs that Euripides could put his whole family and book altogether against him and he would still lose. Thus, Aristophanes is the originator of the literary debate in the history of world literature. Then each poet prays – Aeschylus to Demeter and Euripides to Sky, Smarts, and Pivot to the Tongue. The chorus also announces the rules of the debate. Declaration of the Rituals for literary debateĭionysus announces that he would judge the competition with integrity and urges the Chorus to sing the music. Through this, the playwright upheavals the universal tendency of human beings of superiority, from their own perspective. Aeschylus jokes that this is not a competition on equal terms because his poem has not died with him though he is not alive. Dionysus warns them not to debate in an aggressive way. Angry, Aeschylus says Euripides is a “bubble collector, creator of a monk and so on. Euripides has continued calling him “the creator of barbarism, a proud loudmouth, / a restless, carefree, blocked face”. ![]() Euripides touches Aeschylus’s chair and says he will not let go of Aeschylus with Dionysus because he is better than Aeschylus. Pluto sits on the central chair, Dionysus on his left and Aeschylus on the right. The quarrelsome preliminary stage of the contest ![]()
