Abstract

The author inquires the question about the dramatic nature of Timocle’s Ikarioi Saturoi, a question much discussed by the classical scholarship of the nineteenth and twentieth century. The new reading of fr. 18 K.-A., handed down from Athenaeus, discloses exact correspondences, concerning language and performance, with Eupoli’s Demoi and, above all, with Aristofane’s Ploutos, so that it’s possible to lean to the opinion that the work has comic, and not satyrical, nature.
