“… 34. The expression δωδεϰάϰρουνον <τὸ> στόμα assimilates Cratinus' mouth to Kallirhoe or Enneakrounos, a fountain-house located south of the Acropolis near the river Ilissos: cf. Owens (1982) and Olson (2007), 86f. This topographic detail reinforces the analogy between Typhon's spewing forth of volcanic streams and the upward movement of Cratinus' iambic inundations.…”

Recent studies have analysed the essential role of interpoetic rivalry in Aristophanes' comic imagination. Zachary Biles has shown that ‘festival agonistics provide an underlying logic for the overall thematic design of individual plays’ and that ‘the plays can be treated as creative responses to the competitions.’ Aristophanes' dramatisation of comic competition has been viewed as a reflection of the struggles of political factions in late-fifth-century Athens or as an expression of a ‘rhetoric of self-promotion’ that builds the comic plot through the mutual borrowing of comic material (jokes, running gags). This paper suggests that Knights presents interpoetic rivalry as a conflict of embodied aesthetic modes. In this play, Aristophanes' tendentious definition of his comic self against his predecessor Cratinus results in opposed ways of conceptualising the sonic quality of dramatic performance and its material effects on the audience. The nexus of voice and temporality, which, as I argue, shapes the play's agonistic plot, equates the intergenerational duelling of Aristophanes' and Cratinus' political counterparts (the Sausage Seller and the older Paphlagon, respectively) to a contrast of somatic experiences grounded in sound.

Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει τα στοιχεία που σχετίζονται με τα συστήματα ύδρευσης στην Ελλάδα και την περιοχή Fars (Ιράν) από τον 6ο έως και τον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ. Η εξέταση των συστημάτων ύδρευσης στις δύο περιοχές αποδεικνύει την ύπαρξη ενός εκ των συνθετότερων προβλημάτων στο γνωστό αρχαιολογικό τοπίο. Παρά τη γενικότερη εξοικείωση των αρχαιολόγων με τα συστήματα ύδρευσης των αρχαίων πολιτισμών, η κατανόηση και η εύρεση των καταλοίπων των συστημάτων ύδρευσης ήταν πάντα προβληματική. Η χρήση των αρχαίων καναλιών, συχνά για μεγάλη χρονική περίοδο, προσθέτει στην πολυπλοκότητα και την ερευνητική πρόκληση. Η έρευνα διεξάγεται υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι τα αρχαιολογικά δεδομένα και οι γραπτές μαρτυρίες θα βοηθήσουν σημαντικά, όταν εξετάζονται παράλληλα, συνθέτοντας ένα χάρτη των αρχαίων Ελληνικών και Αχαιμενιδικών πρακτικών ύδρευσης.Η παρούσα μελέτη έχει ως στόχο τη διεύρυνση του διαλόγου γύρω από τις πτυχές των κοινωνικών αλληλεπιδράσεων και της εξέλιξης της ύδρευσης στην κλασσική Ελλάδα και την Αχαιμενιδική Περσία, ώστε να γίνει κατανοητή η οργάνωση του τοπίου στις δύο υπό εξέτασιν περιοχές. Επιπλέον, ερευνά τις σχέσεις, τις ομοιότητες και τις διαφορές ανάμεσα στο τοπίο, το κλίμα και τα υδρευτικά συστήματα τόσο των αστικών οικισμών, όσο αυτών της υπαίθρου, στην Ελλάδα και την Περσία.

THE separate entrances of the male and female semi-choruses in Aristophanes' Lysistrata are marked by an unusual bit of stagecraft whose importance to a general theme of the play1-the salvation of Athens-has never been fully appreciated. The old men enter the stage at v. 254 each carrying a pair of olive-wood logs, a vine torch and a small pot of live embers.2 Having heard that Lysistrata and her comrades have taken control of the Acropolis, they come intent on burning down the gates of the citadel and removing the women, whom they liken to the Spartan general Cleomenes who occupied the citadel in 510.3 The men pile their logs before the closed gate, ignite their torches in the hot coals and then try to set fire to the logs (vv. 307-11). But after a few minutes of hilarious bumbling their plans are foiled for good by the sudden appearance of a semi-chorus of old women who rush in with water-jars on their shoulders or in their hands;4 thee women threaten the men an of then finally-with an invocation of the rivergod Achelous5-douse them and their fire (vv. 381-82), thus effectively ending the threat of 1 Old Comedy need not, of course, have a consistent plot or general theme to be successful, but in this respect, the Lysistrata is an unusually compact and well structured play; see, e.g. : D. Grene, 'The comic technique of Aristophanes', Hermathena i (1937) 122-3; A.O. Hulton, 'The women on the Acropolis: a note on the structure of the Lysistrata', G&R xix (1972) 32-6; J.
