Abstract
The present work is an attempt to survey the ancient comedy of the classical stage, by a study of its most outstanding exponents, Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence. The author hopes that this thesis may be acceptable to some of those, who without being professed scholars, are yet interested in the ancient Greek and Roman authors, and their conception of the comic art.
Besides the plays of Aristophanes, Menander, and Terence, the works of Willard Smith, Philippe Legrande, and Alfred Croiset are among the more important sources consulted in the writing of this thesis.
