Satyr plays were an ancient Greek form of tragicomedy, similar in spirit to the bawdy satire of burlesque. They featured choruses of satyrs, were based on Greek mythology, and were rife with mock drunkenness, brazen sexuality (including phallic props), pranks, sight gags, and general merriment.he only satyr play to survive in its entirety is Euripides ' Cyclops, based on Odysseus ' encounter with the cyclops, Polyphemus, in Book 9 of the Odyssey.
The data further suggest this so-called Old Comedy was probably not the first form of comic drama performed at the Dionysia. Instead, pre-classical playwrights were composing short humorous satyr plays featuring boisterous bands of lusty, mischievous woodland spirits called satyrs.During the Classical Age, satyr plays followed the presentation of tragic trilogies, making them the oldest form of comic drama extant.he earliest known playwright of satyr plays is Pratinas âalso a tragic poet as discussed above (see Chapter 7)âwhom some scholars have suggested was, in fact, the inventor of the satyr play, at least in the form it was popularized later in the fifth century.
