Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

`An important, sound, scholarly contribution to our understanding of obscenity not only to Athenian culture generally, but especially as it is integral to the themes of ancient comic plays ... This study breaks new ground and will have wide appeal' Library Journal `For the first time in the history of scholarship on Greek Old Comedy in general and on Aristophanes in particular we have in Jeffrey Henderson's [book] a comprehensive study of the obscenity which is so prominent a feature of Old Comedy, and his discussions will be welcomed by all interested in this aspect of it ... A major contribution.' Classical Journal

Reseña del editor:

This is the first book to offer comprehensive discussion of the dynamics of Greek obscenity and a detailed commentary on the terminology itself. It sets the standard for scholarly work on ancient obscenity in language, and has established itself as a classic in the field. For this new edition, Jeffrey Henderson has corrected and updated the philological material and added a new introduction.
