[1] From: Rainer Friedrich, Dalhousie University
<fredrich@is.dal.ca>
I would like to organize a THEMATIC SESSION on "The Politics of Old Comedy" for the
CAC
Annual Meeting in Winnipeg. Ian Storey has already declared that he would participate. I am
offering a paper entitled "Was Aristophanes an Oligarchic Propagandist?"in which I respond
critically to Alan Sommerstein's view, expressed in a series of articles, that this question has to be
answered in the affirmative. This could become the new orthodoxy given the stature of
Sommerstein as an Aristophanic scholar. Before this happens and the 'political' in OC is
indentified with 'oligarchic', it should be debated. Anyone interested should contact me at
<FREDRICH@is.dal.ca> or Tel. 902-494-3468 or
FAX
902-494-2467.
