In a well-known passage from Isidore of Seville, satire is classified together with theatrical forms, as a particular type of comedy. Isidore is not the only ancient source that associates satire with theatrical forms. This essay shows how the pseudoetymology that connects the term satura to the figure of the Satyrs played a decisive role in this curious connection of satire to the world of theatre: a connection that was to have a long fortune, between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance

Abstract
In a well-known passage from Isidore of Seville, satire is classified together with theatrical forms, as a particular type of comedy. Isidore is not the only ancient source that associates satire with theatrical forms. This essay shows how the pseudoetymology that connects the term satura to the figure of the Satyrs played a decisive role in this curious connection of satire to the world of theatre: a connection that was to have a long fortune, between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
