This volume, in honour of Angus M. Bowie, collects seventeen
original essays on Greek comedy. Its contributors treat questions
of origin, genre and artistic expression, interpret individual
plays from different angles (literary, historical, performative)
and cover aspects of reception from antiquity to the 20th century.
Topics that have not received much attention so far, such as the
prehistory of Doric comedy or music in Old Comedy, receive a
prominent place. The essays are arranged in three sections: (1)
Genre, (2) Texts and Contexts, (3) Reception. Within each section
the chapters are as far as possible arranged in chronological
order, according to historical time or to the (putative) dates of
the plays under discussion. Thus readers will be able to construe
their own diachronic and thematic connections, for example between
the portrayal of stock characters in early Doric farce and
developed Attic New Comedy or between different forms of comic
reception in the fourth century BC. The book is intended for
professional scholars, graduate and undergraduate students. Its
wide range of subjects and approaches will appeal not only to those
working on Greek comedy, but to anyone interested in Greek drama
and its afterlife.
