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. Most of the chapters focus on Aristophanes and Old Comedy, which offers the richest arsenal of such techniques, but the less ploughed fields of Middle and New Comedy are also explored. Emphasis is placed on practical criticism and textual readings, on the examination of particular artifices of speech and the analysis of individual passages. The main purpose is to highlight the use of language for the achievement of the aesthetic, artistic, and intellectual purposes of ancient comedy, in particular for the generation of humour and comic effect, the delineation of characters, the transmission of ideological messages, and the construction of poetic meaning. The volume will be useful to scholars of ancient drama, linguists, students of humour, and scholars of Classical literature in general. 410 0$aTrends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes Series 610 $aAncient Greek Humour. 610 $aAncient Greek Language. 610 $aAristophanes. 610 $aMiddle and New Comedy. 676 $a882.0109 702 $aApostolakis$b Kostas E., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aApostolakis$b Kostas E., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBeta$b Simone, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKanellakis$b Dimitrios, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKonstantakos$b Ioannis M., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aKonstantakos$b Ioannis M., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNovokhatko$b Anna A., $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aOlson$b S.
