The play's popularity is evidenced by the numerous references to it preserved in late antique sources. For instance, nearly thirty ancient authors quote the play's celebration of Pericles' unsurpassed oratorical skills, with its trenchant imagery. | Publication Type: | Entry In Reference Work | Source of Publication: | The Encyclopedia of Greek Comedy, v.1, p. 249-249 | Publisher: | John Wiley & Sons, Inc | Place of Publication: | Hoboken, United States of America | ISBN: | 9781118542842 9781118605042 |
