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.This volume collects important examples of Greek literary portraiture. The Characters of Theophrastus consists of thirty fictional sketches of men who are each dominated by a single fault, such as arrogance, boorishness, or superstition. The Hellenistic poet Herodas wrote mimes, a popular entertainment in which one actor or a small group portrayed a situation from everyday life, concentrating on depiction of character rather than on plot. The volume also includes a new translation and text of extant portions of the mimes of Sophron, a Syracusan of the fifth century BCE Here too is a selection of anonymous mime fragments. The work of Sophron and the anonymous mime fragments are newly added to the Loeb Classical Library in this second edition of a volume published in 1993. Jeffrey Rusten and Ian Cunningham have also updated their editions of Theophrastus and Herodas.Character sketchesGreek literatureTranslations into EnglishCynics (Greek philosophy)PoetryPantomimesCharacter sketches(OCoLC)852283fastCharacters and characteristics(OCoLC)852293fastCynics (Greek philosophy)(OCoLC)886091fastGreek drama (Comedy)(OCoLC)947136fastGreek literature(OCoLC)947441fastPantomimes(OCoLC)1052248fastGreecefastCharacter sketches.Greek literatureCynics (Greek philosophy)Pantomimes.Character sketchesCharacters and characteristicsCynics (Greek philosophy)Greek drama (Comedy)Greek literaturePantomimes888/.01/08Theophrastus69807HerodasSophronapproximately 470 B.C.-400 B.C.,Rusten Jeffrey S.Cunningham Ian CampbellMaCbHUPTLCBOOK996214876703316Characteres17461UNISA
