Aristophanes and the Poetics of Competition

Beschreibung

Athenian comedy was written for performance in competitions at religious festivals. This book applies traditional philological techniques to five of Aristophanes' plays in order to demonstrate how that competitive context shaped his poetry and plots, as he sought to engage his rivals and impress the audience in order to win.
