Book Synopsis
The old Attic comedy of Aristophanes reflects the political, social and cultural life in Athens of the 5th century in a multifaceted way. v. reflected. In it, Aristophanes processes a variety of literary references, to epics, fables, poetry and particularly often to tragedy, but also to comedy itself and to genres such as historiography and philosophy that are classified as scientific today. The forms of these references are no less diverse, ranging from literal and modified quotations, allusions and structural parallels to references to the person of a poet or the style of his work. This thesis examines cross-genre literary references in all eleven surviving comedies as well as the fragment corpus; With the help of G. Genette''s theory of transtextuality, she deals with the question of which reference techniques constitute this complex literary network.
