Sulla collocazione del dramma satiresco nella tetralogia drammatica

Abstract

This paper discusses D. Sansone’s recent thesis (see “Prometheus” 41, 2015), according to which fifth-century satyr-plays would have been performed at the start of the dramatic tetra¬logy. A closer analysis of the evidence, especially of the remains of Aeschylus’ satyr-plays belonging to “connected tetralogies”, tends to confirm the traditional view about the satyr-play’s final position within the tetralogy.
