In the wake of a rich tradition of previous scholarship, this volume explores a variety of linguistic materials and stylistic artifices exploited by the Greek comic poets, from vocabulary and figures of speech (metaphors, similes, rhyme) to types of joke, obscenity, and the mechanisms of parody.

The volume will be useful to scholars of ancient drama, linguists, students of humour, and scholars of Classical literature in general.…
