Abusive Mouths in Classical Athens

In this fascinating study of the language of insult in classical Athens, Professor Worman demonstrates that the abuse of public speakers - particularly political leaders and dramatic poets - often uses the mouth as a focus for mockery, isolating it as a visible emblem of behaviours pilloried in the democratic arena.
