This anthology documents the origins of modern comedy by examining the evolution of "New comedy", the Greek genre of which the works of Menander are the only surviving example. The earlier so-called "Old Comedy" authors like Aristophanes wrote in a completely different style : raucous, bawdy, fantastical, and vaudevillian, "a comic idea" instead of a plot. Menander (of whom Plutarch said, "what other reason would a cultivated man have to go to the theatre ?) and his contemporaries presented civilised, urban comedies based on the themes of quiet domestic dramas. The Romans adapted these comedies giving them their own farcical spin. Though they alleged that they were basing their comedies on Greek originals, Plautus referred to them as "barbarian versions" ; they were mockeries on Hellenistic themes. Terence, by contrast, is more like Menander, whose plays he followed with some fidelity, but without success. The Romans did not crave realism, they wanted a good laugh and Terence - though he could have done so - refused to pander to their vulgar tastes. Yet he got his revenge. It was Terence who provided the touchstone boy-meets-girl plots which still appear today in various guises on the silver screen. An authoritative introduction sets the paper, which are by leading experts in their field, in context and explores connections between them thus examining the legacy for modern comedies. All Latin and Greek is translated.
