After Martial, a Roman poet of the first century AD, epigram would always mean satirical epigram: a short, funny poem with a sting in its tail. But Martial was an imitator. He copied and adapted the real innovators: the Greek poets who were already turning epigram into antiquity's sharpest--and shortest--form of satirical humor. This book finally gives them their due, uncovering a forgotten world of wicked puns and violent slapstick.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669620097312,"sku":"NEW019926337X","price":234.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81KzuJ7cW1L.jpg?v=1779051946","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/greek-epigram-in-the-roman-empire-martials-forgotten-rivals-oxford-classical-monographs-019926337x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
