Resumen de Sicyonian comedy

Matt Cohn

  • Sicyon is famously associated with the origins of tragedy, but its connections to other dramatic genres are murkier. This article argues that the city was also connected to the invention of comedy on the basis of an epigram from the Garland of Philip by Honestus, Anth. Pal. 11.32 (=VIII Gow-Page). Most modern scholars suppose that the epigram ascribes the invention of satyr play to Sicyon, but I suggest that its description better resembles comedy. Sicyon's claim to comedy was probably a local tradition that was overshadowed by competing claims from other Doric states and Athens.
