Challenging the current view that Old Comedy is politically neutral, Keith Sidwell argues that poets belonged to recognisable political circles and used their comedy to disparage their political enemies, including rival poets who belonged to different groups. He rereads the principal works of Aristophanes and his rivals in this light.
