| | Old Comedy Encyclopedia Article @ GreatArtworks.com (Great Artworks) |
| | The period of the middle comedy extended from the close of the Peloponnesian war to the enthralment of Athens by Philip of Macedon; that is to say, from the closing years of the fifth to nearly the middle of the fourth century BCE. | | | Thus comedy became a recognized branch of the drama, often presenting a brilliant sparkle in dialogue and a poetic beauty in the choral parts not unworthy of the best efforts of the tragic muse. | | | Add to this that it arose from the phallic processions of the Greeks, as did tragedy from the dithyramb, and we have about all that is known about the origins of comedy. |

| | The concept of comedy being a sophisticated level of drama requiring a high level of thought, both for the writer of comedy and for the reader or viewer of comedy, is one that students can grasp without reading the various texts that I recommend later in the curriculum. | | | Farce is basic to comedy in a physical sense and wit is indispensable as the verbal counterpart to it. | | | Another way to characterize comedy as the humor of the mind is to consider the importance of language in the creation of comedy. |
