Sold by Mighty Ape
J. H. Hordern provides a text (based on Kassel and Austin’s Poetae Comici Graeci text but with significant additions), translation, and detailed commentary on the surviving fragments of Sophron’s mimes. The commentary deals with both literary and linguistic questions, but focuses particularly on Sophron’s relationship with earlier traditions (for example, iambus) and his influence on later literature (for example, the work of Theocritus). A substantial
introduction furnishes an overview of the biographical evidence, and discusses the vexed question of audience and performance, arguing that the mimes were essentially symposiac entertainment rather than stage
performances. There is detailed discussion of Sophron’s dialect and lexicon, the textual tradition, and his impact on post-classical literature.
