Description
A detailed study of how Aristophanes manipulates traditional narratives of important religious experiences (oracles, healings, epiphanies) to engage with the religious discourse of his time, with a particular focus on the comedy Wealth. This book opens up a new perspective on Aristophanic drama and its relationship to Greek religion.
