Stratti fr. 49 K. - A.. Ma come parlano i Tebani?

In the fr. 49 K.-A. of Strattis an ignote character attacks the Theban dialect and makes a list of nine ridicolous Theban words. The present study tries to demonstrate that the comic eπect of these words doesn’t rely first and foremost on their possible double meaning neither on their Boeotian shape. Indeed, some of them are funny nicknames the Athenians clearly don’t use, some have particular meanings in comparison with the Attic dialect; therefore, the real vis comica of the fragment lies in the Attic point of view.

Si analizza il fr. 49 K. - A. di Stratti con attenzione rivolta alle glosse beotiche pronunciate da un personaggio e al loro effetto sulla scena comica ateniese di V sec. a.C.
