This volume collects important examples of Greek literary portraiture.The "Characters" of Theophrastus consists of 30 fictional sketches of men who are each dominated by a single fault, such as arrogance, boorishness, or superstition.The Hellenistic poet Herodas wrote mimes, a popular entertainment in which one actor or a small group portrayed a situation from everyday life, concentrating on depiction of character rather than on plot.The volume also includes a new translation and text of extant portions of the mimes of Sophron, a Syracusan of the 5th century BC.Here too is a selection of anonymous mime fragments.The work of Sophron and the anonymous mime fragments are newly added to the Loeb Classical Library in this second edition of a volume published in 1993.Jeffrey Rusten and Ian Cunningham have also updated their editions of Theophrastus and Herodas.
