Greek comedy flourished in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, both
in and beyond Athens. Aristophanes and Menander are the best-known
writers whose work is in part extant, but many other dramatists are
known from surviving fragments of their plays. This sophisticated
but accessible introduction explores the genre as a whole,
integrating literary questions (such as characterisation, dramatic
technique or diction) with contextual ones (for example audience
response, festival context, interface with ritual or political
frames). In addition, it also discusses relevant historical issues
(political, socio-economic and legal) as well as the artistic and
archaeological evidence. The result provides a unique panorama of
this challenging area of Greek literature which will be of help to
students at all levels and from a variety of disciplines but will
also provide stimulus for further research.
