Beschreibung:

Scholar's name to ffep (D. Gerber). Else book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear. ; The era of Old Comedy (ca. 485 ca. 380 BC) , when theatrical comedy was created and established, is best known through the extant plays of Aristophanes, but there were many other poets whose comedies survive only in fragments. This new Loeb edition, the most extensive selection of the fragments available in English, presents the work of more than fifty-five poets, including Cratinus and Eupolis, the other members (along with Aristophanes) of the canonical Old Comic triad. For each poet and play there is an introduction, and for many there are brief notes and recent bibliography. Also included are a selection of ancient testimonia to Old Comedy, nearly one hundred unattributed fragments (both book and papyri) , and descriptions of thirty vase paintings illustrating Old Comic scenes. The texts are based on the monumental edition of Kassel and Austin, updated to reflect the latest scholarship. ; Loeb Classical Library No. 515; Vol. 3; 107.95 X 25.4 X 161.925 millimeters; 480 pages.
