Presents a study investigating the chorus of Old Comedy. This book offers a general introduction to the dramatic chorus from the comic vantage point. It includes a close reading of Aristophanes' "Thesmophoriazusae", which shows that ritual is indeed present in both the micro- and macrostructure of Attic comedy.
