De parabaseos partibus et origine [Latin]

By Jules Combarieu

This 1894 Latin text, "De parabaseos partibus et origine," by Jules Combarieu, explores the parabasis in ancient Greek comedy. A parabasis is a speech in which the chorus addresses the audience directly, often interrupting the play's narrative. Combarieu's work delves into the structure, function, and origins of this distinctive dramatic element. This book offers valuable insights for students and scholars of classical literature, drama, and linguistics, shedding light on the conventions and context of ancient Greek theatrical productions. Its analysis of the parabasis contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationship between the playwright, the chorus, and the audience in classical Greek theatre.
