Abstract:
»Finally in this section, Robson (Chapter 18) examines the representation of rape in Old Comedy. He argues that the Aristophanic passages in question display a complex mixture of, on the one hand, male fantasies of rape as uncomplicated sexual acts, and on the other, recognition of rape’s ability both to degrade and harm the female victim.«
