This book presents an introduction to the Characters, a collection
of thirty amusing descriptions of character types who lived in
Athens in the fourth century BCE. The author of the work,
Theophrastus, was Aristotle's colleague, his immediate successor
and head of his philosophical school for thirty-five years.
Pertsinidis' lively, original and scholarly monograph introduces
Theophrastus as a Greek philosopher. It also outlines the
remarkable influence of the Characters as a literary work and
provides a detailed discussion of the work's purpose and its
connection with comedy, ethics and rhetoric.
