This paper aims to challenge the notion that utterances in Old Comedy were subject to the same laws as any others made in other contexts in fifth-century Athens. With this goal in mind, it re-examines the various ancient accounts that
have been adduced to reflect attempts to censure Old Comedy9s slandering and mocking capacity; some anecdotes that may suggest an influence of comedy on the
political and social life of the city; the alleged subjection of comedy to the various laws on slander; and, in particular, the purported prosecution of Aristophanes by Cleon.
