Satyr drama is a liminal genre, situated generically between tragedy and comedy. It exhibits elements traditionally associated with both of these genres, but because satyr plays were written by tragedians and performed at the ends of their tetralogies, scholarship has typically prioritized their relationship with tragedy. This study argues, however, that satyr drama had its most significant and consequential relationship with Greek comedy. With a buffoonish and ribald chorus of satyrs, satyr plays were fundamentally comic performances. Like comedy, they regularly exhibited obscenity, sexual humor, happy endings and non-human choruses. They were even performed alongside comedy on the same Attic stage at the same yearly festival. This generic, spatial and temporal proximity created an intimate and fragile interrelationship: comedy and satyr drama each had to remain comic while also remaining generically distinct. As a result, satyr drama's literary development was influenced by the vicissitudes of the comic genre. When comedy was officially introduced into the City Dionysia in 486 B.C.E., it limited satyr drama's generic bounds; and when it shifted toward its "satyric" Middle Stage, it created such a generic tension that satyr drama was forced to shift into a new, more satirical, comic niche. In this dissertation, I trace this evolution of satyr drama and demonstrate that it is directly linked with Greek comedy's own evolution.
