Extract

‘I can make nothing’, declared Paul Cartledge in this journal some years ago, ‘of the “Lakonian key” first attested in Aristophanes (Thesm. 423)’. (For other attestations see Aristophon, Peirithous, fr. 7 Kassel-Austin; Menander, Misoumenos, fr. 8 Sandbach (10 Koerte); Plautus, Mostellaria 404–5, cf. 419–26.)
