From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"I will make it a mixture: let it be a tragicomedy. I don't think it would be appropriate to make it consistently a comedy, when there are kings and gods in it. What do you think? Since a slave also has a part in the play, I'll make it a tragicomedy..."--Amphitryon (3d century B.C.) by Plautus |
