Auteur: Ruffell, Ian (Lecturer in Classics, University of Glasgow.)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
The comic drama of the late fifth and early fourth century BCE was typified by the combination of absurd and fantastic plots, often dealing with social and political issues of the day. This study puts these elements centre-stage and argues that it was through them that the comedy of the period made its political interventions.
