Description

The volume contains the comedy poets from Aristophon to Dromon, who were active in the 4th century BC. The three best-witnessed poets Aristophon, Axionikos and Dionysios offer interesting insights into the development of the genre in the later phase of "Middle Comedy". In the fragments of the Aristophone there are some of the most apt examples of the poets' engagement with contemporary philosophy (Pythagoras and Plato). Dionysius is closest to the "New Comedy". Some of his fragments show the development of the comedy characters who regularly appear in connection with festivals and guest-monists.
