This book makes a strong contribution to the study of humor in ancient Greek comedy, and I recommend it to anyone interested in jokes, humor, parody, poetics and the like in Aristophanes and the fragmentary comic poets. * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * An epitome of reader-friendliness This is a well-researched and well-written contribution on the competitive attitude of comedy towards tragedy, and also (what should be a gauge of success for such books) it is fun to read. -- Dimitrios Kanellakis, University of Patras, Greece * The Classical Review *
