Book Description: The work of the other comic poets of classical Athens, those who competed with, and in some cases defeated, their (eventually) better known fellow comedian, Aristophanes, has almost eluded the historical record. The poetry of Cratinus, Phrynichus, Eupolis and the rest has survived only in tantalizing, often tiny, fragments and citations. Modern studies in this field have themselves been scattered throughout lesser known journal and often in languages other than English. Here, an exceptional group of scholars, including most of the international authorities, provides a set of 28 interpretative essays to cover every poet of Athenian Old Comedy for whom significant evidence survives. This large, single volume work, authoritatively edited, illustrated and including a comprehensive bibliography, will be a landmark in the study of Old Comedy and is certain to become a standard work of reference.
