Antiphanes is one of the most important writers of the Middle Attic
comedy. His plays deal with matters connected to mythological subjects,
although others referenced particular professional and national persons
or characters, while other plays focused on the intrigues of personal
life. This volume contains a critical text, translation and complete
philological, literary and historical commentary on the fragments of
Antiphanes' Sappho and subsequent plays, along with the fragments
without a play-title (including dubia).
