Testimonien und Fragmente griechisch und englisch, Einleitung und Kommentar englisch. This volume offers the first scholarly commentary and sustained study of several late fourth-century BCE poets of the so-called New Comedy – among them Philippides of Athens, a writer and dramatist highly esteemed in antiquity, known especially for his acrimonious clashes with Athenian demagogues and his influential friendship with foreign kings. All fragments are subject to close textual, linguistic and stylistic analysis, and are interpreted against the wider literary, social and historical background of the period. The first full study on several "lost" poets of ancient Greek comedy and their fragments. 390 Seiten, gebunden (Fragmenta Comica FrC; Band 22.2/Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2022) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
