This paper explores the intersections between forensic oratory and Attic comedy along with their historical and political implications, focusing on the domestic trial of the Cydathenaean Dog and the Labes Dog in Aristophanes’ “Wasps”. By showing how this scene reconfigures courtroom rhetoric, it contributes to current debates on the relationship between legal discourse, comic performance, and civic ideology in classical Athens.
