Comedy in Plutarch’s <i>Parallel Lives</i>

Authors

  • Sophia Xenophontos

Abstract

Plutarch quotes Attic comedy as evidence, but he also uses both invective and stereotypes from comedy in order to illustrate and judge the character of his protagonists, as seen in the Lives of Demetrius, Antony, Pericles, and Fabius Maximus.
