Talk:The Acharnians

message: Dear Bluewater: The customary rendering of the lead characters name in the English language is Dicaeopolis (ae being the customary transcription for the diphthong αι). If you wish to argue for changing the article to use the modern rendering, please present your arguments here first.  Regards, sys < in 07:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greeklish 

message: Regarding above post, Dikaiopolis is in my copy fo Sommerstein's translation and I'll use that since I intend copying his Dramatis Personae here. I intend giving this article a rewrite, hopefully finishing the bulk of it in a few days. My intention is to link it in with the rewrite of Aristophanes and it should then have the same format as Lysistrata and Thesmophoriazusae. Lucretius (talk) 02:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Knights

message: I am intending to expand and develop this article and then hopefully do the same with the other plays of this great writer. The headings, maybe, will look like this - Introduction, Dramatis Personae, Plot, Background, Dramatic Structure (a detailed analysis of the plot in terms of Prologue, Parados, Parabasis, Symmetrical scenes, Lyrics, Episodes), Text (manuscript transmission etc), Linguistic Devices (puns, metaphores, similes etc), Influence and Legacy, Performances, and the usual reference and footnote sections. Also a section on literary references within the text (Aristophanes always has something to say about other writers and their styles). That's something like the shape of things to come. Now I just have to deliver! Lucretius (talk) 01:06, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Wasps

message: I've used the painting 'The Jury' by John Morgan because, despite its anachronisms, it resembles the Chorus more closely than would any swarm of wasps. Besides, we import modern images into ancient drama all the time, mostly at the imaginative level. I doubt it will last long - some other editor is certain to remove it as an anchronism unworthy of a serious encyclopaedia. Lucretius (talk) 04:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Suppliants (Aeschylus)

message: Added some stuff on the trilogy to which the play belongs. Also, changed Danaides to Danaids, which is just about universally used in written English in the twentieth century and beyond.Ifnkovhg (talk) 04:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fleshed out the article a bit 

message: There's some problems with the first part of the entry here. It says, "evidence discovered in the mid-twentieth century shows it one of Aeschylus' last plays, definitely written after The Persians and possibly after Seven Against Thebes[citation needed]." A leading scholar of Greek tragedy, H. D. F. Kitto, in his book Greek Tragedy, 3rd edition (1961) page 2, considers the available evidence including the newly discovered papyrus fragment made available in 1952. He points out that the authority of the papyrus fragment is very questionable, and there is still substantial evidence for the play's early date. As the article notes, there is no citation for the claim that the play was written and produced after The Persians and Seven Against Thebes. The article should not state the later date as definitive. 
The quotation from Paley, dated 1879, is also very problematic: "It may be remarked, though not as an evidence of date, that the play is rather a melodrama than a tragedy. It ends happily, and has no other claim to the latter title than from the pathos excited and sustained by the helpless condition of the fugitive maidens in a foreign land." 
Melodrama, in this context, is a form of tragedy that ends with the death of the "bad guys." It can be said to have a "happy ending," but that is not the primary defining feature. Melodrama is sensationalistic, appealing to the audience's baser instincts for revenge. The Suppliants most definitively cannot be considered a "melodrama." Furthermore, The Suppliants is part of a trilogy, so the ending cannot be considered in isolation. The tragic dilemma of the play is that the protagonist is faced with choice between offending Zeus and offending the Egyptians and entering a war. Although we don't have the remaining parts of the trilogy, in most versions of the myth, the choice to protect the suppliants does in fact result in war and many deaths, including the murder of the prospective husbands. So in fact, The Suppliants is part of a tragedy resulting in many deaths (and not just "bad guys"), and it certainly cannot be regarded as a melodrama with a happy ending. In my view, the given quotation should be eliminated and a more accurate assessment of the play should be added.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leghorn (talk • contribs) 16:12, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources and citations 

message: Quick note on the sources format. The clean up was designed to reduce the terrible clutter and obscurity of the citations, aiming for clean and clear. This means that a book should only be given once in the sources list. This is important if we cite from different parts of a volume. In an article such as this, from one book, we might want to refer to the translation of a play (say, Ajax in a collection of Sophocles' plays), we might also want to refer to an introduction that may be written by someone other than the editor (the confusion of which made for some mis-attributions in the old version), we might want to refer to editorial notes or glosses. In each case, the same book is cited, but different authors within it. So, for example, Scully, James. 2011. Introduction. In Bagg and Scully (2011, 3-12). No need here to give the title of the book/volume, since it is given under the entry for Baggs and Scully (Bagg, Robert and James Scully, eds. 2011. The Complete Plays of Sophocles: A New Translation. By Sophocles. New York: Harper. .) The title of that volume should not be duplicated in the first entry. 
Worth mentioning too WP:BUNDLING--just one note at the end of a sentence is required for all the info in that sentence.
Also, the format adopted is MLA author-date. This makes it Aristotle (2015, 3), rather than Aristotle (2015, p.3) or variations along those lines.  • DP •  {huh?} 03:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources and citations 

message: As this appears to be an article undergoing active revision and expansion, I will note here that the English Wikisource includes a Portal:Ancient Greek drama that includes sources not utilized here.
Among the offerings listed there is an 1871 book by Clifton Wilbraham Collins entitled Sophocles, which consists primarily of short summaries of each play, and with chapter 5 "The Death of Ajax" covering this play. There is also Connop Thirwall's classic article "On the Irony of Sophocles", which includes a section analyzing the Ajax. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

message: A new or improved section on ancient receptions of Iphigenia lore (especially in the Greek novels) would be a helpful addition to this article. See Anna Lefteratou's book Mythological Narratives for a detailed exploration of such receptions.
A recent summary of those receptions, together with a detailed argument that Iphigenia in Tauris is retold in the canonical Acts of the Apostles, may be found in Bilby, Mark. G. and Anna Lefteratou. "A Dramatic Heist of Epic Proportion: Iphigenia among the Taurians in the Acts of the Apostles," Harvard Theological Review 115.4 (2002) 496-518. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0017816022000293

thread_title:  CDCs 

message: *Historically, these subdivisions have been based on postal districts, especially during the colonial era. 
*When local elections necessitated the setting up of electoral districts, however, it began to supplement postal districts as an alternative form of local governance, since each electoral district is headed by a member of parliament who represents and speaks for the respective electorates.
* In the 1990s, the Urban Redevelopment Authority carved up the country into 55 planning areas. These boundaries became increasingly accepted as an alternative method of subdividing the country, made all the more popular as the boundaries do not change compared to the more fluid nature of electoral boundaries.
**Sources - 
Hmm, I cannot find references to support "increasingly accepted" though. The CLGF only states that it is an alternative method. The other link supports the NPP/NCC.
