Madeleine M. Henry, Phoenix Compared to slaves in Roman comedy, slaves in Greek comedy have received relatively little attention. This edited volume, which grew out of a conference co-hosted by York University and the University of Toronto in 2008, successfully fills a gap in the scholarship and lays the groundwork for future studies. ...This truly engaging volume ought to be received with enthusiasm by scholars of both Greek comedy and ancient slavery. --BMCR Author InformationBen Akrigg is Assistant Professor of Greek History at the University of Toronto.
