Book Synopsis
This commentary on the comedy Aspis des Menander mainly deals with text-critical and linguistic questions. The introduction also deals with observations on the dramaturgy, the actors and the Attic law. It provides highly insightful insights into Menander's linguistic art and uses the analysis of numerous parallel texts to refer to the gradations of expression from colloquial colloquialism to paratro-tragedy, which are used in accordance with the dramatic situation. As a result, the commentary is very suitable as an introduction to the Menander reading, but also offers considerable new knowledge for the connoisseur.
