| dc.description.abstract | The theme of <i>katabasis</i> - the descent of a hero to the underworld to acquire wisdom or immortality - is found in ancient epics, from the Mesopotamian <i>Epic of Gilgamesh</i> to book 11 of Homer's <i>Odyssey</i>. The most notable appropriation of this motif in Attic Old Comedy occurs in Aristophanes' <i>Frogs</i>. In this play, Dionysus goes down to the underworld in order to retrieve the tragedian Euripides but, instead, decides to bring back to life Aeschylus. | en |
