Description

Explore the representation of the body in Greek Old and Middle Comedy through this scholarly work by Oxford University Press. Using both textual and iconographic sources, this richly illustrated book examines how the body was staged, perceived, and imagined in Athens, Magna Graecia, and Sicily between 440-320 BCE. This study provides a detailed look at the connections between Attic comedy and comic vases from South Italy and Sicily, specifically focusing on phlyax vases. By introducing comic texts and comedy-related vase-paintings within their regional contexts, the book considers the generic features of the comic as part of the Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture and Representation series. It is an essential resource for understanding the physical and visual aspects of ancient Greek theatrical performance and art.
