This reads like a transcript of an old-fashioned sourI LOVE ICECREAMbce; presumably Bates, as cited. The use of Old Comedy for the periodbefore Aristophanes, which has left us only fragments; seems rather odd, and severely dated to me. Comments?Septentrionalis19:27, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Portions of this article seem to have been copied verbatim from the sources linked at the bottom.--68.162.222.8801:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be a good idea to list at least one or two of the more famous ancient Greek comedies here.
Haven't been here for a while what the hell happened. Forms of ancient greek comedy now only has new comedy in it. What happened to old, and middle they've been totally removed I went back and pasted some old stuff in as a makeswift but needs some attention from someone. I can't understand why someone would remove without replacement.(even if it is outdated infomation) Please don't revert without something to replace them. I however pretty much picked a random old page to copy infolmation, so changing the version is fine, and layout needs a bit of tweeking now also. If I have time I'll try to make the language a lttle less archaic. As I said above its a makeswift, I'll try to find a user who knows enough to reformate the old and middle sections now.If you have anything to say post I'll try to remember to come back here later and check page and discussion.

I have done some basic wikification, but it needs alot more work. This is just not up to standard.m.e. (talk)14:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've just cleaned up the article a little and am detailing the changes here: Anachronistic sources removed and reliable modern sources added; converted to MLA author-date system format; re-sized pictures to appropriate size given length of text; separated out section on Performance; moved Aristotle definition to introduction; moved website citations for dramatists to notes; addedsatyr play to list of dramatic genres of classical Athens. Haven't yet checked text for accuracy. Re-assessed article to start class, given low-quality of most of the text.DionysosProteus (talk)13:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Did anyone spotted any addtions to the list of comic poet? That81.106.203.205 is me! Cos I saw wiki's comic playwrights list are incomplete, so I worked a long time to make it complete. Now I am working on creating their articles.Hellomate11:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Under New Comedy it says that no complete plays have survived. Menander's Dyskolos is usually considered to be complete. It's missing about 9 lines (out of over 900).Also, it says that Dyskolos was discovered in 1958. Actually, it was published in 1958. I don't know when it was discovered, but obviously a few years before that.—Precedingunsigned comment added by208.73.31.50 (talk)21:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Detail, side A from a Silician red-figured calyx-krater (c. 350 BC–340 BC). I ask: Silician, or Sicilian? Same in articleSlavery_in_ancient_Greece--Palapa (talk)07:07, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The current text indicates that Plautus only adapted Diphilus's works for the Roman theatre and that Philemon's works were abandoned. However, Plautus drew from Philemon's works as well. For example, in line 9 of Plautus's Mercator, he even writes "Graece haec uocatur Εμπορος Philemonis," or "In Greek this play is calledThe Emporos of Philemon." I believe this article should be edited to indicate this.Kreidy (talk)18:01, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
