Abstract

How far can the obsession with judging extend? In their comedies, Aristophanes and Racine examine the distortions of the judicial systems of their respective societies, undermined by the desire for dominance, polit- ical influence, and personal and financial interests. Through satire, they offer vivid portrayals of everyday life, depicting, respectively, fifth–century BCE Athens and seventeenth–century France.
