Von Gnathon zu Saturio - Die Parasitenfigur und das Verhältnis der römischen Komödie zur griechischen

To what extent is Roman comedy dependent on the Greek? The author pursues this old controversy using a comprehensive study of the figure of the Parasite. One result is to demonstrate that Plautus and Terence follow Greek comedy to a far greater extent than has often been thought.
