 Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies: Seducing a misanthrope: Timon the philogynist in aristophanes' Lysistrata   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
While the male half-chorus' song of "Melanion the misogynist" is undermined by traditional erotic associations with Atalanta, the women's song of "Timon the philogynist," on the other hand, gains power from the crafty redirection of his misanthropy against the men by means of a verbal game.
The confrontation between the two half-choruses, therefore, is staged as a bid for control of the Acropolis.
The female chorus appropriate the figure of Timon by means of a clever word play which gives the women the edge in the battle of the songs.
