The Maculate Muse: Obscene Language in Attic Comedy Jeffrey Henderson (Professor of Classics, Professor of Classics, University of Southern California)
This is the first book to offer comprehensive discussion of the dynamics of Greek obscenity and a detailed commentary on the terminology itself. It sets the standard for scholarly work on ancient obscenity in language, and has established itself as a classic in the field. For this new edition, Jeffrey Henderson has corrected and updated the philological material and added a new introduction.
