Descripción

This scholarly work delves into the complexities of gender representation within ancient Greek and Roman comic literature. Alexandrou and Petrides examine how these texts addressed and constructed notions of masculinity and femininity, despite the absence of formal gender theories in the cultural milieu. Through a close reading of various comic works, the authors illuminate the often playful yet critical ways that gender roles were portrayed, providing insight into societal norms and expectations of the time.

By situating comedy as a lens for understanding the nuances of gender, the study encourages readers to reconsider how humor functioned as a vehicle for social commentary. Through engaging analyses and thoughtful interpretations, the authors highlight the significance of comic narratives in shaping ideas of identity and gender in antiquity, offering a fresh perspective on the interplay between literature and culture in the ancient world.
