This book is the first comprehensive study ever devoted to the comic poets Epicrates, Epigenes, and Eriphus, figures previously known only through scattered quotations from later sources. The volume studies their fragments for the first time, reconstructs the lost plays and restores these playwrights to the history of Greek comedy. A ground-breaking contribution is the correct dating of Epigenes to New Comedy, the final phase of Greek Comedy, overturning a long-standing error that had shaped scholarship since the nineteenth century. By combining close reading with cultural and historical analysis, the book shows how these poets engaged with everyday life, politics, and social values in post-Classical Athens. Rather than treating fragments as isolated curiosities, it reveals them as parts of coherent dramatic worlds and as evidence for major developments in comic form and content. The volume enhances and deepens our understanding of how the genre evolved after the classical age.

This book reorients the study of unbelief in Ancient Greece by dismantling two persistent scholarly misconceptions: the portrayal of Greek atheism as a form of proto-modern secularity and the dismissal of the subject as merely a lexical dispute over definitions. By integrating a diverse range of philosophical, medical and epigraphical sources, the author contextualises irreligious stances within the discursive and social ecology that shaped Greek religiosity. Rather than representing an external negation of the divine, unbelief emerges as a historically specific modification of self-world relations. Leveraging relational sociology and contemporary Religious Studies, this analysis demonstrates how doubt, critique and denial took root within the fabric of lived ancient religion - from theatre and intellectual circles to civic conflict and the politics of impiety. The result is a transformative account of Greek unbelief and a transferable analytical model for future comparative and historical research.
