Extract

Professor Beare has attacked the position established by Alfred Körte in 1893 and accepted in large measure by Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge in Dithyramb, etc., and Festivals. The following reply is brief because I have dealt with the works of art at some length in Rylands Bulletin, xxxvi (1954), 563 f. and in a forthcoming number of Ephemeris Archaiologike.

The statement of Aristotle (Poet., ch. 4). I have tried to show that various elements in the ‘phallic performances’ were taken over by comedy and that we have some evidence that the leaders of padded dancers wore the phallos.
