Sommario/riassunto

Fictionalized faults are the focus of Characters by Theophrastus (c. 370-c. 285 BCE). The Hellenistic poet Herodas wrote Mimes, in which everyday life is portrayed and character as opposed to plot depicted. Mimes by Sophron (fifth century BCE) and anonymous mime fragments also represent that genre.
