The era of Old Comedy (c. 485 – c. 380 BCE), when theatrical comedy was created and established, is best known through the extant plays of Aristophanes, but there were many other poets whose comedies survive only in fragments. This new Loeb edition, the most extensive selection of the fragments available in English, presents the work of fifty-six poets, including Cratinus and Eupolis, the other members (along with Aristophanes) of the canonical Old Comic triad. For each poet and play there is an introduction, brief notes, and select bibliography. Also included is a selection of ancient testimonia to Old Comedy, nearly one hundred unattributed fragments (both book and papyri), and descriptions of twenty-five vase-paintings illustrating Old Comic scenes. The texts are based on the monumental edition of Kassel and Austin, updated to reflect the latest scholarship.

This newly revise second edition (first edition published 1981) contains the new and unchanged collection of "orphan" testimonials and fragments that can with close certainty be attributed to Greek tragedy, but cannot be assigned to a specific author. The first part of the collection includes materials available in literary and artistic format (including inscriptions), while the second part focuses on texts preserved on papyri. Some of the works preserved on papyri are published here for the first time. German text.

Since the appearance of the first edition in 1971-72, Iambi et Elegi Graeci has been widely acknowledged as the standard critical edition of the early Greek iambic and elegiac poets. The work has now been thoroughly revised and brought up to date by the incorporation of the latest new material. In this second volume the major additions are the important new fragments of Simonides' elegies, some from a long narrative poem on the Battle of Plataea, others from personal poems of high literary interest and quality. There are also new fragments of the comic poem Margites attributed to Homer, and of Tyrtaeus. A supplementary word index has been added to take account of the changes and additions in the two volumes since the first edition.
