Английская Википедия:Crates (comic poet)
Шаблон:Short description Crates (Шаблон:Lang-el) was an Athenian Old Comic poet, who was victorious three times at the City Dionysia, first probably in 450 BC.Шаблон:Sfn His career had apparently ended by 424 BC, when Aristophanes portrays him in The Knights as a figure from the past.Шаблон:Sfn Before he began writing, he was an actor for Cratinus.Шаблон:Sfn
Aristotle claims in the Poetics that Crates was the first comic poet to create complete plots, rather than personal abuse, and his surviving fragments support this.Шаблон:Sfn His style of comedy was apparently therefore rather different from that of Aristophanes' more political and topical works,Шаблон:Sfn and by the end of the fourth century BC this was the dominant style of comedy.Шаблон:Sfn He was also supposedly the first Athenian comic poet to write a drunk character.Шаблон:Sfn
Sixty fragments (four uncertain) survive.Шаблон:Sfn According to the Suda[1] and an anonymous writer on comedy,[2] he wrote seven plays; another source[3] says eight.Шаблон:Sfn Eleven titles are attributed to him:
- Geitones ("Neighbours")[1]
- Eortai ("Feasts")[4]
- Heroes ("Heroes")[1]
- Theria ("Wild Beasts")[1]
- Lamia ("Lamia")[1]
- Metoikoi ("Metics")[5]
- Paidiai ("Games")[6]
- Pedetai ("Men In Chains")[1]
- Rhetores ("Politicians")[7]
- Samioi ("The Samians")[1]
- Tolmai ("Daring Deeds")[8]
Of these titles, Feasts may be a mistake caused by confusion with Plato Comicus's play of that name;Шаблон:Sfn the Men in Chains might be a mistake for Games, by confusion with Callias' Men in Chains;Шаблон:Sfn and the Politicians, attested in only one fragment, might be a mistake for Heroes or Neighbours.Шаблон:Sfn Crates' Metics is attested only in a single fragment preserved in the Etymologicum Genuinum; other plays of that name by Pherecrates and Plato Comicus are attested, and it is unclear whether all three are separate works.Шаблон:Sfn
