 The Theatre In Greece - The Middle Comedy And The New Comedy
The decline of the comic chorus, thus reduced to the perfunctory part of interlocutor, is seen markedly in the Plutus, B.C. 388 ; and its withdrawal as a political organ is accounted for by the gradual evanescence of political interest.
Antiphanes, who was born towards the close of the fifth century, and died at the age of seventy-four, a little before 330 B.C., is said to have composed two hundred and sixty comedies.
An innovation of real importance, towards the middle of the fourth century, was the definite adoption of the prologue of Tragedy, which in Middle Comedy had made but a timid appearance.

Plato's drama is several times quoted by Athenaeus, but only when he is discussing details of cookery--one passage obviously for the sake of its coarseness.
Antiphanes' play furnishes Athenaeus with nothing but a catalogue of seasonings.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.8.9
The blame for the repellently chatty English one must lay at the feet of the translator.
That it is Aphrodite who is learning kottabos in the longer fragment of Antiphanes' Birth of Aphrodite is equally without proof.
It is odd then to find no discussion of Plautus' Amphitryo, and, at the opposite end of neo-natal depiction, only a footnote on the Birth of Helen in vase painting.

Hunter implies that, as much of our knowledge of the charges of plagiarism in Old Comedy comes from the scholia to Aristophanes, the lack of any such source for Middle Comedy may have obscured the situation.
Equally metacritical is the well-known discussion of the difficulties in writing comedy (the author must invent all the story details, while the tragedian has the myth handed to him) in Antiphanes fr.191K..
When characters on stage can discuss the process of creating drama and the effects drama produces in an audience, we are still much nearer the freedom of Old Comedy than the illusionism of the New.

375-340), Antiphanes (active from the 380's to the end of the century) and Alexis (certainly active 350-330, but doubtless much earlier and later as well).
For slaveparts he finds evidence (especially from Antiphanes) of three kinds: hapless recipients of orders (usually endless shopping lists), smart-alec malcontents, and (only toward the end of this period) somewhat higher-level slaves who can function as their masters' confidants or advisers.
Despite much uncertainty in detail, it seems clear in general that the generation just before Menander (an archaeologist might call it "Middle Comedy II") was almost solely responsible for the formulaic characters of a Greek or Roman New Comedy as we know them today.

 Allusion, Illusions and Delusions: Aristophanes plays with tragedy   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It is not at all clear what each tragedian thinks, nor why one is chosen over the other: but the ambiguities are those of tragic verses, and the final decision is expressed in terms of a tragic tag that turns a comic version of Euripides' verse against himself.
In all his preserved plays, but especially in Frogs, Aristophanes always makes tragedy suit his won purposes: his Euripides and even Aeschylus are ultimately comic characters whose skill in tragedy, the city's special darling as Antiphanes recognized, makes them invaluable for comedy to exploit.
Aristophanes' Frogs was such a success that it was re-performed, and an inscription from Eleusis may actually commemorate the performance (I G. II 3090 (end of 5th century B. Pickar-Cambridgee DFA2, 47, Csapo and Slater CAD 129 nr.

The appointments demonstrate perfectly that in the Plato's times it only existed for Greek an only place in the world known with the famous name of Gadeira, and this place was Cadiz, Spain.
Whereas in the Deükaliôn text, of comedian Antiphanes - of the same time -, it is already mentioned like a daily food to sauces of fish from Gadeira and the tuna-fish from Byzantías (Bizancio).
The sauces of fish of Gadeira were, indeed, one of products more famous than was concerned in almost all the corners of the Mediterranean, and that was continued by the Romans under the name of Garum.

While I have the utmost respect for your obvious erudition and etymological prowess, not to mention your affinities with the fountainhead of occidental thought (i.e., classical Greece, in particular Athenian genius), there is, it seems to me, something distinctly fishy in your reply to my earlier post.
In any case, you are quite right that there is a time gap of four or five hundred years between Antiphanes and Jesus Christ.

Much more like the truth, and more pleasing, is the account which Antiphanes, one of the ancient comic poets, gives in his Theogony as to the origin of all things.

A 4th-century BC inscription on a fl limestone base may indicate that the dedicants were Arcadians, not just Tegeans, and thus that the battle was the devastation of Lakonia in 369 BC, although Vatin refers to a new inscription indicating that Pausanias was correct.
Fragments of the limestone base also preserve the name of Antiphanes as sculptor twice (Dittenberger, no. 160), while a signature from an Argive dedication reading ‘Antiphanes from Argos made it’ appears on a monument commemorating the founding of Messene in 369 BC (Dittenberger, no. 161).
