Aristophanic paratragedy

The scope of Aristophanes' use of tragedy remains insufficient!y explored. Most existing critical literature treats paratragedy as stylistic parody, peripheral to the text. This study aims to show how the use of tragedy, parodic and otherwise, informs Aristophanic texts substantively as well as stylistically through a range of complex textual functions.
