Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the influence of Greek literature on Roman comedy through a detailed examination of Plautus' play, the Persa. The author argues that the Persa, once thought to have been composed in the pre-Menandrian era, is in fact a product of the mid-fourth century BC, a time when Greek comedy was undergoing significant transformation. Through a meticulous analysis of the play's language, themes, and characters, the author demonstrates how it reflects the shift from the fantastical and political focus of Aristophanic comedy to the more realistic and domestic themes of the so-called New Comedy. The author concludes by highlighting the significance of this discovery for our understanding of the development of Roman comedy and its relationship to its Greek predecessor, shedding new light on the evolution of one of the most influential literary genres in Western history.
