	Pratinas - LoveToKnow 1911
		PRATINAS (the quantity of the second vowel is doubtful), one of the oldest tragic poets of Athens, was a native of Phlius in Peloponnesus.
		Pratinas was also the introducer of satyric dramas as a species of entertainment distinct from tragedy, in which the rustic merry-makings and the extravagant dances of the satyrs were retained.
		Pratinas was also a writer of dithyrambs and the choral odes called hyporchemata (a considerable fragment of one of these is preserved in Athenaeus xiv.

	Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, page 515 (v. 3)
		The innovation of Pratinas, like all the great improvements of that age of the development of the drama, was adopted by his contemporaries ; but Pratinas is distinguished, as might be expected, by the large proportion of his satyrie dramas ; having composed, according to Suidas, fifty plays, of which thirty-two were satyric.
		Pratinas ranked high among the lyric, as well as the dramatic poets of his age.
		Pratinas may perhaps be considered to have shared with his contemporary Lasus the honour of founding the Athenian school of dithyrambic poetry.

		The successors of Thespis, and also the immediate predecessors of Aeschylus, are Choerilus, Pratinas, Phrynichus, who represent the second generation of tragic poets.
		Pratinas, a native of Phlius, is especially famous as a writer of satyric dramas.

		Pratinas coolly took the perturbed philosopher round the waist, and by sheer force seated him in a chair.
		Pratinas had lorded it over him and patronized him, in a way which drove the mild-tempered man of learning to desperation.
		The average chatter of Pratinas and Valeria had been gall and wormwood to him, and he had been glad enough to evade it; but here was Pratinas with a secret which he clearly did not wish Pisander to know.

		The first eight all produced at least partly in the 5th century: Pratinas of Phlius, Aristias of Phlius, Ion of Chios, Achaeus of Eretria, Critias of Athens and Iophon of Athens, Philocles the Elder of Athens, Agathon of Athens.
		In reconstructing the development of the genre itself, CP's interesting study of Dioscorides' (late 3rd century) epigram on Sophocles' refinements reaffirms Pratinas as "founder" of the genre.

	The Extension of Greek Tragedy Beyond Athens
		Among his lesser productions were certain complimentary anagrams on the names of the king and queen, by which he acquired great favour at the court, and was consequently entrusted with the task of collecting the comedies for the Library.
		Sositheus, also one of the Pleiad, is now chiefly known from the epigram in the Anthology, where he is praised for the antique vigour of his satyric dramas, in which he abandoned the "innovations of later art," and restored the "masculine Doric rhythm and bold language" of Pratinas.

	The Origin of Tragedy: Introduction
		Aristotle, therefore, is not referring to the first beginnings of Tragedy in the sixth century, but to the state in which Aeschylus found it and from which he lifted it.
		This harmonizes well with the fact that Thespis, Phrynicus, Pratinas, and Choerilus were all termed dancers by the ancients and that Aeschylus invented many new figures, the fact being that the drama was still merely an operatic performance, such as we shall find in the dramas of India, Burma, China, and Japan.
		But the Epic is not the oldest form of poetry.

		In fact I believe we shall find that many of society's conflicts and ethical issues can be portrayed on the stage to enhance people's understanding without the negative consequences.
		At the beginning of the fifth century BC Athens' Dionysian festival became more organized, and Aeschylus began presenting tragedies in 499 BC along with Thespis, Pratinas, Choerilus, and Phrynichus, who was fined for reminding Athenians of their grief for the defeat by the Persians in The Capture of Miletus.
		Aeschylus, who is credited with introducing a second actor and making the dialog more important than the chorus, did not win first prize until 484 BC.
