Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers fresh insights into Menander's Dyskolos through meticulous analysis of its fragments alongside related material. It argues that the 'Dyskolos' ('Grumpy') was not simply a miser, but a miserly grump, a distinction which significantly alters our interpretation of the character and, by extension, the play. This new perspective challenges existing assumptions about Menander's most famous work and deepens our understanding of his comedic genius. By situating the play within its literary and historical context, the author traces the evolution of the 'grumpy' character throughout Greek literature and examines how Menander infused this stock type with individuality. The analysis uncovers the play's profound insights into human nature, particularly the complex relationship between wealth and well-being, and unveils Menander's mastery of characterization and social critique. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of Menander and Greek comedy, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated plays of antiquity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332573066_0
