Today's felicitous phrase
...comes from a Bryn Mawr Classics review of:
Colin Austin, S. Douglas Olson, Aristophanes. Thesmophoriazusae.
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004. Pp. cviii, 363. ISBN 0-19-926527-5. $150.00.
Reviewed by Ian C. Storey, Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario,
Canada (istorey@trentu.ca)
"...they affirm (267) that "abuse of individual citizens in Aristophanic parabases is normally confined to the epirrhematic syzygy..."
I always thought it was the prorhematic syzygy myself, but who knew?
