Lessico Digitale della Commedia Greca (LDCG): testo, scena, ricezione. Il bomolochos e la voce di Aristofane nell’archaia

With the vocabulary of buffoonery (βωμολοχ-) Aristophanes often rejects comic entertainement of a trite and banal sort. In spite of those passages, scholarship has attempted to pin down the bomolochos as a highly specific character but, as Dionysus’ character in the Frogs shows, utterances of that type are not at odds with the severe Aristophanic claim to poetic inventiveness and refinement.
