Studies on Greek Law, Oratory and Comedy

By Konstantinos Kapparis and Dimos Spatharas

Douglas M. MacDowell (1931 - 2010) was a scholar of international renown and the articles included here cover a significant area of classical scholarship, discussing Athenian law, law-making and legal procedure, Old Comedy, comedy and law, politics and lexicography. All of these articles, published between 1959 and 2010, bear the characteristic marks of his scholarship: precision, balanced judgment, brevity and deep learning. The volume includes a biography of MacDowell by Christopher Carey based on the testimony of his closest colleagues and personal friends, which was presented to the British Academy.
